Ugh. Another good ute trying to look like an American mega truck with huge body panels.
When this shity fashion passes I’ll look at utes again. For now, they’re just embarrassing, non practical, and just more body panel to damage when doing real off road work.
You didn’t type cunt even once, which makes me think you aren’t even Australian, much less a bogan.
Which is weird since I didn’t see any indication that it’s coming state side.
In Australia it’s a popular pastime to hate on American-sized utes. You know, the F-150, Silverado etc.
Which I can understand really since they are very off-putting (in terms of dimension) on the road, and also ruins visibility for smaller cars.
I can get it. 99% of them are used as commuters which is an astronomical waste.
Fun fact, a full large 16” pizza box can fit on the center console between the two front seats of a 2015+ F150.
Australia has a group of men who think they look cool and are obviously buying them. The rams etc that is.
So the actual useful vehicles like the one in the link are now trying to put on their pantaloons, to pretend they’re big trucks too.
Except, the mistake is, the utes are excellent as small to mid size vehicles. Making them all large like this erodes a valuable vehicle size. That’s even beside the safety aspect.
Well at least they aren’t as big as a F-150…yet, right? Personally I really don’t want to see these uh, things getting popular on the road lol.
Yet. Exactly. They’re emulating it, and they’re just shit. I hired a ford the other day that wanted to be an emotional support vehicle like this thing. Couldn’t see anything. It was padded out with huge body panels like a little guy puffing his chest to look buffer.
American here, watch out in parking lots (or car parks). I’m 6’3” (like 190 something cm) and I can just barely see drivers over the hoods of many of the monstrosities here.
I hope you can avoid our fate. Call your government reps and complain.
