Those idiots also drove the price up for those of us who need them for what they're meant for...work.

These big yank tanks are nothing but penis extensions, they're not used for work. People out bush all own Hilux or Navaras

The jacked up ones, %100 agreed, but the large trucks designed for hauling are used exactly for that, hauling. I say this as a Toyota guy, I have a 1st gen tundra I use all time out here, but I'm not delusional and think it can do what the f350 we have can.

A cab-over is much more practical 99% of the time. An Isuzu N-Series or Hino 300 has much higher GCM, more comfortable cabin and larger bed.

They just aren’t fitted with V8-powered inadequacy compensators.

Then what? You're other vehicles? An n series or hino 300 is a baby lorri, not a truck.

And while we are at it....those cabs are not more comfortable than our truck cabs, we have trucks just like them here and they're fucking awful for long hauls.

Weird how not a single contractor, farmer or labourer in any other countries need them huh? They're not made for work.

Drive up to a building site in one of those and be prepared for someone to spray a massive cock n balls on it with expanding foam

weird how they use semis/lorries usually for large equipment, when here in the usa we haul most of our own equipment. A hilux is not hauling a 12k lb skid steer, or even a small dozer, or 20 1k lb round bales of hay. Most builders haul most of their shit with them. Weird how you don't know what you're talking about.

Read - builders can't afford the equipment they need because they got tricked into spending 100k on a tiny-penis-compensation truck lol

No builder is buying a 100k truck... you're not even making any sense, stay in your lane on your tiny island and keep thinking how your little world works the same everywhere.

They actually have them on the massive continent where I live, well, just a few.

People put stickers on the back of them saying "fuck your environment, I'm compensating for my micropenis" 😂

Cool I hope those people like to eat.

They do, they're just not fat

In 2022 to 2023, 64.0% of adults aged 18 years and over in England were estimated to be overweight or living with obesity. This is similar to 2021 to 2022 (63.8%) but there has been an upward trend since 2015 to 2016 (61.2%)

Ok...sure.
