I've seen big utes around the Australian suburb where I live and thought they were bad enough. These things seem to be on a whole other level

That truck is also raised. I drive a 'normal' size SUV and once drove past one of those raised trucks in a parking lot - its hood was as high as my roof.

You've gotta compensate your penis size with your car. This is just basic science.

Not arguing with the statement being made here but the tilt shift photography makes that picture much worse than it is in reality. Again, I completely disagree with these giant atrocities rolling down the road but still this photo is not accurate by any means.

Useful for carrying massive things every single day, completely useless for all other purposes.

I noticed that car owners never use their cars to their fullest potential. You have all this additional space just being permanently unused, which just worsens highway traffic. Not to mention all the additional pollution you're now responsible for because that big ass car is not an EV.

Just get a regular sized car if you don't wanna bother transporting 3 grand pianos to the same two places every single day. Oh wait, now you have to retune them too.
