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.
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.
