You don’t fit. Go to your own garage. You are several feet too long.

Clearly a Penis Compensation Device.
What is even the point of these, from what i seen the truck bed does not seem that much bigger if at all then a normal pickup truck?
Cosplaying as a “real worker”.
Big diesel crew cab rigs are for towing trailers while hauling a crew. Think land scaping, construction etc.not too useful for the average joe using it as a Honda civic but for the right business they are exactly what you need.
The bed is like the truck balls, it’s only there for manly affirmation, but really serves no practical purpose.
But balls serve a practical purpose.
They store the vehicle’s pee and warn the other drivers?
I agree in 90 percent of cases but I have one with a fucked up bed and it’s only six months old. I use it every other day to do deliveries.
normally youd get more torque because its a bigger engine but this dudes truck in the city so theres actually no point but the point is so you can pull stuff out of mud or tow your tractor or somthin on your farm
One of the few moments where I’m glad gas is insanely pricey.
Well bully for you cuz it’s a diesel rig and that’s even MORE expensive 😂
Semi-Truck.
Seen one recently. Don’t know how it is in Americas, but for the rest of the world this is unnecessarily, stupidly, obscenely big. It doesn’t fit anywhere, it consumes fuel in barrels, visibility is near zero, the pickup format is extremely impractical for everyday use. This is a climate-churning, people-pressing machine that makes 0 sense.
Does the rest of the world never need to move around equipment or trailers? In America these are every bit as useful as whatever country your from lol. Most of the time people here use them as daily drivers which is obscene but if it’s a business truck a big diesel can be more than necessary. A gas 4 cyl Tacoma is NOT pulling near half what a 2 ton chassy with a diesel V8 can
There’s only one reason for having this truck: micropenis compensation.
Id say the pickup is just fine. Its these borderline semi trucks that are not. Ill take an old nissan or toyota truck any day and it’ll do what i need it for. This is just a “big” dick truck.
in almost all cases, a van is a better working vehicle
have had my taco for 18 years and parts availability is starting to be an egg hunt, but i aint trashing it just yet. ive done as much or more work with mini me, than any coca cola cowboy
this looks like the micropenis ones, small bed by a massive 4 door front.
this one looks lifted too.
trucks that big should only ever be sold to verified farmers and licensed contractors
My neighbour used to park his truck sticking way out like that, but it wasn’t all the way back in the spot.
I left a note on it saying: “It’s not as big as you think it is, you have to put it all the way in.”
From then on it was parked properly.
I too would retell that anecdote at every opportunity.
That moment when you close reddit because the All feed was men, to see the same post here too
Stop hating the plebes
Where are the pictures of the predator elite classes’ private jets?
Reddit links though?
When I see people with clean, big, unused trucks, I always give them this hand signal:
Wag your index finger, and it looks like their small limp dick, blowing in the wind. You get double points if you look them in the eyes. They usually get the message. Be careful, though. I’ve gotten into a few fights over just that hand sign.
I’d definitely reserve it for those pissers who ride your ass or park like assholes, but get ready for a fight.
extra points for snipping off that little end where air gets put into the tire off.
them big tires is expensive, and odds are half their paycheck or more goes towards the car payment.
(obviously this must be done without them present)
That’s one way to say you don’t understand how tires work
Sure the tires are expensive, but replacing a valve stem is only going to cost maybe about $50, if you call around a little you might even find somewhere that will do it for like $20.
Now if it’s not just a stem and has a tire pressure monitor, that gets a little pricey, that might be over $100. Most of those aren’t just a rubber stem but made out of metal, so not as easy to just “snip.” But usually it can still be replaced with a plain stem as long as they’re willing to ignore the light on their dash.
I’ve seen an increase in these dumb trucks in my small European city. Every single one in pristine condition, so you know the pricks don’t use them for work. A few stood out with expectedly dumb details. One had a license plate a la “I love USA”, and another had a sticker “0800-EAT-SHIT”. I’m pissed EU doesn’t have the balls to ban them altogether.
I’ve counted. In my area of Canada less than 3% of pickups that I see are being used as anything other than a commuter car at any given time.
These insecure dumbasses define their worth by the size of their truck. The things are just $100,000 fashion accessories. Emotional support vehicles.
Interesting how giant stupid trucks attract douchebags world wide.
See, that right there.
I used to have a massive F-550, but it was so beat up and had the connections to make use of that towing capacity.
Most of these trucks have never been off the pavement and never hauled more than groceries.
Also, an F-250 now is the size of my F-550 in the 90s.
I think they’re banned in the UK. Too big for the roads in a city that was built for horses.
I need to figure out some way to plausibly scratch these things with deniability. Maybe an umbrella with a metal tip sticking out of my bag. Whoops, sorry, couldn’t be helped, total accident.
Tungsten carbide tips on the umbrella.
Perhaps a simple trip/stumble while holding a handful of sharp metal objects that happen to make contact as you reach out to prevent a full fall, clumsy me…
Remember when Hummer came out with a consumer SUV back in the early 90s? I remember thinking they were gigantic and too big for the roads/parking spots. Quick search tells me the wheel base was 130inches (3.3m or 10.8ft). Here it is completely in a parking spot.
A modern F250 supercab with an 8-foot bed is 175.9in (4.5m / 14.7ft). A 6.75-foot bed, the wheelbase is 147.8in (3.75m / 12.3ft). I wish we could go back to the days of the Hummer…I wish we could go back to the days of the Hummer…
I wish there was a size max for cars where even the hummer would not be allowed on the road. Cars like pickup trucks and SUV’s increase danger for others. It would be better if there was more public transportation and less cars, and the only cars out there are just plain cars and vans for delivery / mechanic services etc. Because why should other people have a higher risk of dying just because someone has a micropenis?
“Normal” SUVs are something like 70% more likely to kill the pedestrian in a collision with one that cars like sedans.
SUVs are anti-social cars.
IMHO, it’s a great example that The Law isn’t really done to protect common people that those things are allowed on the road when they’re actually unecessary (unlike, say, delivery vans) and almost twice as deadly for other people than normal cars.
why should other people have a higher risk of dying just because someone has a micropenis?
Always has been. These days this just also enables “normal people” with micropenis to endanger their fellow citizens.
But micropenises basically, in all of history, sent other people to their deaths. Be it war, starvation, ouher generic atrocities, you name it.
I feel micropenis is a metaphor for something else here.
then it catered to SOCCER mom types, which were made absurdly large.
The actual HMMWV is actually a pretty cool and reasonable vehicle for medium utility tasks and off roading. What the Hummer became and what passes for consumer light trucks is ridiculous.
I remember when they first came out, someone tried to take an H2 down this narrow one way brick road with high curbs in our town, and managed to wedge himself in between the curbs completely stuck, threatening to shed his sideways if he went forward of backwards
LoL nice I would have just stood there and laughed at that loser
I can’t help but think the H1 is fucking cool. They’re not that long but they are W I D E.
Would cost an absolute fortune to fill with gas these days lol
It’s diesel.
Life-Pro-Tip: Just reverse-power a diesel generator to produce diesel with your own solar energy.
Leg room is shit in the humvee if you’re tall but they’re beefy bois that can crawl through damn near anything.
Damn, I’m tall
It’s an old geezer’s car compared to a stadium super truck, if they were street legal…
It’s wild to remember this joke was from 1998, yet I can swear trucks have gotten even bigger since then. I remember most pickup trucks having a compromise between cab space and bed space. My brother’s first truck had two seats in the front and two side seats squished behind it - that is, it was such a small space that the seats faced inwards from the wall and we had to fold our legs so our knees went up. It was actually pretty fun to sit back there, I had a friend who’d ask him specifically to drive us places because she loved that feature.
But nowadays it seems most pickup trucks (that I see, in the US) gave up on making that compromise, like the truck in the post image. Full cab in front like it’s trying to be a family sedan, then a long-ass bed that makes the thing stick out pretty much anywhere it parks.
I’d say “pick a lane,” but with the size of these things, I don’t have high hopes.
A while back, i watched my friend help another friends mom into his truck in an icy parking lot- by using the Tommy gate as an elevator to get her the 2.5’ up to the other trucks door.
TBF, at least both actually use their trucks for work. Tommy gate is a stone mason and thw other guy I regularly see hauling trees to plant for landscaping.
I miss my old four cylinder Tacoma sometimes but my mini van is so much more practical. I have a trailer and hitch when I need to haul something I don’t want in the van. I looked at Tacomas again a few years ago and was floored at how big they were, I swear they are the size the full size tundras used to be.
Fuck these big ass trucks, should be illegal!
They should reduce the height on parking garages to exclude them.
Just let the air out of the tires so they dont have to worry about scraping.
Also I have a tiny old but tall van, it’s exactly 15 feet long and narrower than most modern compact cars, but it’s over 6 ft tall. It does fit in most parking decks, and never sticks out of the spot.
Vans are the real vehicle for trades. You can fit way more gear, it’s all locked up and weather protected, and the vehicle footprint is still smaller.
There is almost nothing a pickup truck does better than a van when it comes to work vegicles for the trades.
They have a steel beam barrier at 6’2" at the entrance to my hospital parking and some broski rams into it every week.
Why does he keep coming back?
It feels so good when he stops.
Agreed, but that’s probably an issue for fire safety. There’s probably some regulation that mandates a minimum height.
And some vans designed for transporting people with wheelchairs/powerchairs could be blocked out.
And vans in general, they’ve only gotten taller and taller in recent years. Many look like a good gust of wind’d knock them over.
That was actually a problem with briefly-very-popular conversion vans.
I dunno, I’ve met parking garages I couldn’t safely walk through at a modest 6’5"
