Nah they're not actually all that big if you take into account what they're designed to do. Maybe even a lil small. How do you expect to load pallets of construction materials in anything smaller? That is, after all, it's intended use. Complain about SUV sizes because those definitely don't have to be so big, but trucks are that size for good reason. People using them as commuters? That's not the truck's fault. Blame the soldier not the gun. Blame the craftsman not the tool. Etc.
Nope, you can buy it as a personal vehicle at any Ford dealership. Just walk in and buy one, and slap personal plates on it. You can't just buy an f650 without calling ahead and ordering one. And even then it's just the frame, drivetrain, and cab. No bed or anything unless you get add-ons. Definitely a different scenario.
They don't sell any of the truck pictured above. It's a custom build by a remanufacturer.
No these trucks are built for uhauls, ambulances, and tow trucks. It's got nothing to do with buyer preference and everything to do with necessity of use.
Do you not realize a truck is a van without a top? No difference. Trucks are extremely useful in the US. Yes you can do those things without a truck, but it's easier with a truck. Honestly with your "American Cancer" statement, you're sounding pretty xenophobic and I don't appreciate it.
Mkay so 1 person = many? 🤨
Ah yes, using a hybrid high-efficiency supercar to shit on an everyman's pickup. Totally reasonable.
I'm really sorry you're 4 feet tall and feel envious of us 6-footers, but it is a big difference
It's a very reasonably normal vehicle to own if you do a lot of towing, construction, etc. Heavy vehicles exist for a reason. No it's not for commuting or shopping trips, but there are many other reasons to own a vehicle.
Man you're just trying to be an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. Have you ever tried actually being reasonable?
You don't need a CDL if it's 26,000lbs or lower. That's the point I'm making. Just driving it, unloaded, without any heavy accessories like a dump bed or a rollback, a CDL is not required. So yes, someone could buy one of these and use it as their mall-crawler without a CDL. That may not be the intended use of the vehicle but it's possible.
Ambulances need this truck. Propane delivery needs this truck. Crash recovery needs this truck. The list goes on
