It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

In America, I’m sick and tired of seeing them. They’re minivans for insecure dads. They’re props for office workers who want to LARP as construction workers
Every time I see them, all I can think is that they hate kids (huge blind spots) and love to complain about gas/petrol prices. They also don’t fit in our huge parking spaces. Sure, they have their uses, but I really doubt that the shiny, pristine truck is being used to haul/tow anything
The real construction workers/laborers are usually seen driving normal sedans/cars, minivans, or actual vans. Fuck pickup trucks, they’re awful
F-150 Raptor: The official truck of “she hit me first”.
It's worse in America but it's coming to Aus slowly but surely. I wish they'd just fuck off honestly.
Where I'm at they are used to tow boats at 85mph while passing everyone on the freeway.
Eh I see mostly only see tradies in Australia driving these shitboxes.
