  not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days

  I heard a real kicker recently. It was something like

  My truck looks like it shouldn’t be able to haul it but it can. Yours like it should be able to but can’t.

  Best instagram roast of a modern truck guy I’ve ever seen.

    Yup, someone on Lemmy mentioned about needing a pickup truck for work … I specifically remember that that same day I’d seem three workmen on a single 125cc scooter towing a trailer with tools and a bunch of 2x4s on it.

      Hahah brilliant

      My dad and his workmates just use a VW Sharan for construction work. By the stuff they do to it, it’s impressive that all 4 wheels are still attached.

      It always baffles me when people say they NEEEEDED to buy a new work truck when I see how dad uses their sharan at work.

        Yup. At work back home the security guys have new big pickups … they literally never ever ever have to carry stuff or go off road.

        Meanwhile where I’m working under contract, the security guys have small capacity motorbikes yet manage to be more intimidating (their main purpose)

  I’ve got some big ass American iron too, but it’s old and actually worth a shit. Never understood lifts you need and ladder for, and 3’ beds. Totally worthless vanity boosters.

  Trucks are for doing shit, not hauling your sorry ass to the grocery store.

    Exactly. Take a 1989s LWB F250 with crewcab for example - full length bed, carries a work crew, can do a reasonable amount off road, and can be absolutely beaten on for years.

    That, I can respect.
