    Pretty arrogant to claim people that own them don’t need them. I know welders that do on site welding and have heavy welding equipment mounted in the back.

    You also wouldn’t want to have a civic flying down a steep hill behind you towing a 6,000lb travel trailer.

    Edit:

    Today I learned a bunch of people like to drive slow behind a rolling death trap that is a civic with a 6K lb trailer. Cool.

      I think we’re not talking company trucks (which should park in a depot anyway).

      It’s about personal garage-queen road-manatees. Because of course it is.

      Just abolish and amnesty the Dodge ram. Given the inordinate DUI numbers, roads would just be safer.

        Yes this is different. But still, how do you go RVing. You can’t, legally, without something that has the braking and towing capacities.

          Glamping.

          Or maybe just give up the “I want to travel and I want to take a single-wide with me” dementation.

            Sure as soon as housing becomes affordable. I hate having a large truck but it is the right tool for the right job and we live full time in an RV.

          I towed an a-frame tent trailer around the South Western US and Western Canada for like 2 months straight with a 2.5L Subaru Outback. People used to go camping with just a fucking station wagon. Could it tow a giant 25 footer trailer? No, would I want one? No, what’s the point of literally towing a full sized house to “Get away”.

        Except they do. Or they use vans which are similarly sized, maybe a bit more narrow. Or they just have older trucks.

          They use vans mate. I’ve literally never seen a builder with a stupid tiny-penis truck. Maybe the boss if he’s having a midlife crisis but never, ever a contractor

        Can you explain to me how you can tow 10k lbs of gravel in a trailer with a Toyota pickup?

        You’re ignorant. You’re probably picturing some plumber.

          I’m literally a fuckin builder mate 😂

          You turn up on a job site with a tiny penis truck, you’ll get laughed at the entire fucking day like the stupid cunt you are 😂

            Your comment says a lot about your emotional maturity. What’s the towing capacity on this? I’m doubtful you can tow stone slingers and 10K lbs of gravel and excavators with this thing.

              Transits are about a 2500kg towing capacity. I’m sorry I don’t know what that is in washing machines because I’m not a fucking caveman with a tiny cock

              Edited because you edited yours.

              How often do you need that capacity? Once every six months? So you’re driving about in a pollution machine the rest of the time for no reason.

              I hire a lorry cos it’s cheaper and I’m not an immature idiot that needs a tiny-penis truck

                I’m not speaking of myself. Landscapers need them pretty much daily for these purposes. People like you fail to realize the bigger picture and that the world doesn’t revolve around their needs.

                  If a landscaper was hauling that much daily, he’d buy a lorry. It’s as simple as that.

                  Why don’t they? Because they’re definitely, definitely NOT doing that daily, in fact, very infrequently, and they don’t need to buy a lorry

                  There’s no excuse for your truck, teensy-weensy-boy

      9 out of 10 non-company pickups on the road are hauling huge dicks with tiny penises.

          Probably because it’s metaphorical and not actually about the penis.

          Now that I have this giant truck, I own the road, I can look down on everyone, no one can laugh at my personal faults and failings.

          Idea that the truck can be used as a prosthetic for the personality is funny but hard to boil down boil down to 4 or 5 words. Male genitals however are euphemistically used all the time to describe (mostly) positive aspects of people. “Big dick” energy, “the balls” to do something, so the quickest way to express that a person is compensating for a lack of something that they know about and are ashamed of, but are unwilling deal with, is a tiny dick joke.

          Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
