I can’t reconcile the exterior with interior pictures. From the outside it looks like the inside of that truck should be the size of a large sitting room with a Chesterfield and some end tables.
Gotta cram the plastic shit and uselss tech in there somewhere.
Cupholders! Gotta have more cupholders.
I just want my slightly smaller than a Tacoma sized truck with a small diesel that gets like 28 mpg. Is that really too much to ask?
VW Amarok is a tiny bit smaller than a Tacoma and comes with a diesel. Gets more like 35+ mpg though, hope that’s alright?
The Isuzu D-Max is a bit smaller than the Amarok and only comes with small diesels. And one slightly bigger diesel.
Sadly I think those don’t get sold in your country because you’re probably in the US given you mentioned the Tacoma rather than the Hilux, which is also a tiny bit smaller than a Tacoma and has diesel options.
Due to the chicken tax, importing light duty trucks into the US is prohibitively expensive. Building them in the US makes little sense for smaller models, as those don’t sell as well as their bigger counterparts. Hence, no small trucks in the US :(
I want one of those old 90s Toyota trucks so bad, I wish they still made them. Like that little black truck in back to the future.
That truck was from 1985, but I know what you mean. That truck was awesome!
At least the Ford Maverick is something that exists. I know it’s based on an Escape platform, but that’s fine for most uses of trucks that size.
Yep. In the US. The hilux would be the ideal vehicle.
Disgusting cars, honestly.
Waow (basedbasedbasedbased)
Add in the amount of times I’ve seen people drive cars where their seat height puts their eyes at about 2 inches over the steering wheel.
I’ve known a few truck drivers like that, with the air seat almost as low as it can go. The only thing they’d even be capable of seeing is an air strike.
How else are the owners supposed to compensate for their 2cm dicks?
Cunnilingus?
The insidious thing about the small dick energy is that it isn’t about the efficacy of the unit. They don’t care that they “can’t” provide pleasure (which, let’s just not dig into that for arguments sake, but I would contend the existence of lesbian sex sort of contradicts the whole correlation of dick mass to pleasure output, let alone the whole can of worms that is all the other miriad of genital and gender configurations). They view sex as transactional, performative, superficial, and perhaps even competative. It’s all about them. Even if they had a supreme dick, they couldn’t weild it. They’re stunted, and frightened. They don’t understand even basic communication, which I would argue that sex is at it’s core, just a type of communication. That kid in class that mocks the topic because they don’t understand it and that frightens them? So they try to tear it down and belittle the topic? Those are the kids that grow up to drive these trucks, and evidently run nations.
I might print this comment on sticker paper for reasons.

I’m proud to be a filthy casual sex enjoyer
Use their fingers?
The headlights are at exactly the height to blind everyone who isn’t also in a truck as well. I’m convinced that auto manufacturers do this on purpose to force everyone into a size arms race.
I lived on the ground floor, and the idea of smashing headlights of some vehicles came to me many times.
This was an aftermarket raise, so not really the responsibility of the manufacturer in this specific case
Yeah it should be on the state for letting this thing pass basic safety inspection.
Shit like this shouldn’t be street legal.
Perfect case in point…this truck is parked on the street. If that spot is the last spot before a parking lot entrance, there is no way for people turning out of that parking lot to see if it’s clear or not. It’s a hail-mary every fucking time. There was one of these parked in such a spot outside my kids daycare every single day last year.
And if they were to file a police report because they were mysteriously smashed, they’d get in trouble for illegal modification, yes?
Big vehicles lile trucks in America have lower emissions requirements, which makes them cheaper to make and they can sell them for a higher profit to these insecure dumb fucks, so it’s in their interest to make and sell large trucks
Yank tanks are multiplying on this side of the Pacific now too. I’m 6’3” and feel like a little toddler next to one. Just as easy to run over, no doubt.
I got ran over by a car while on my bike at a roundabout bike & pedestrian crossing: I’m so glad it was a normal sized Opel instead of a tank. Only got a bruise on my butt and even my bike just needed the front wheel realigned. If it was a F-whatever monstrosity I would’ve been hurt much, much worse.
Personal vehicles in cities should be limited anyways and public transportation/pedestrian & biking paths encouraged. I hate the dust rising from stud tires grinding asphalt.
@gurnu @FrostyCaveman
I think the majority of streets don’t need to be thoroughfares for cars. We could block and barricade most streets so that bicycles and pedestrians can pass through but cars can only get in and out by a single route. Anyone who isn’t visiting a home or business in that neighborhood just wouldn’t turn off of the main road. Rat running, the use of parallel side streets to avoid traffic and police speed enforcement also causes a lot of problems. #FuckCars #UrbanismYou don’t have to mention people when replying to them, they’ll get a notification automatically.
It happens when people come from mastodon.
How annoying.
@jenesaisquoi
I didn’t mention anyone, I just hit reply.The thing you’re using might be doing it automatically then. Perhaps you could configure it not to do it?
@jenesaisquoi
I will look into it.Thank you! Very kind.
You sound like a person that does not know how to restrict themselves and in turn restricts other people from annoying them, contemplate inner peace, and then take them more active management role in controlling what affects your mood via the block button
It’d probably be easier for you to just ignore the additional @format, especially now that you know why it happens (even though it annoys you). Mastodon to Lemmy communication isn’t seamless, but it’s cool that it can happen at all
And nobody’s gonna dig through settings to find a (probably non-existent) configuration that removes the blue links, when it’s something they don’t even see. Did you check your own config to see if it could remove the @'s from Mastadon replies?
Wayyyy easier to ignore your peeve and enjoy the upside of it all, imo
Or block? Idk, that would be a personal choice and feels counterproductive to me
Complete side note: I wonder if when a Mastodon user replies to a Lemmy comment that’s nested (like 10+ replies deep), does it @everyone in the comment thread? Is there a limit? I need answers, but am too ambivalent to try
That’s a weird looking tank
Pretty sure it is, here.
Btw, what model is it?
They raised it aftermarket
It’s a Ford Super Duty 🤮
Aww man they need to get their numbers up in the competition of which trucks are involved in the most DUIs
Whats DUI?
Driving Under the Influence; short hand for a drunk driving charge.

Between what?
For the civilised counties that’s 1.75 meters.
Whaaaaat? That’s my height!!! That tank is what? 2 meters? And you tell me that’s a civil car? Like everyone can drive it? Don’t need to go to the army? 😳😳😳
Wow that girl is 3 meter tall what a beast
No it is the distance from the car lmao. Well tank.
Girls had to evolve to get taller because trucks kept running them over
My redneck ranch family has run over so. Many. Of their own dogs
WTF
Should require a CDL to drive something that big. It’s a bus sized front end.
most of the buses in the next town over from me are f-350 and e-350s, so quite literally yes
Busses that size often don’t require CDLs, definitely don’t require a CDL B. A true bus is much, much bigger than a 350 (source, I drive a bus)
neat! also fwiw where i’m at anything that seats 9 or more requires a cdl
Ah, where I am it’s “designed to seat” more than 16 for it to require a CDL. More than 9 seems more reasonable honestly, we have lots of non-CDL school “busses” here.
And transit busses have a flat front end and a large wind shield.
Hey now, I’m 5’9" and a lady, but do you not care that women are on average 5’5" or whatever? Why scale it to men? Scale it to the average person, not the average man.
Ideally you should be able to see all the way down to the road. That is the reason I love the back up camera. It shows me ground level, mirror and looking back show me the human level view.
Don’t get offended for the sake of getting offended, jfc .
Would it be better if he used a banana for scale, because that’s all he’s doing. He’s showing how large the truck is compared to him, an average height American human male.
Wtf do you want, him to say he’s four inches taller than the average American woman and this truck should be illegal?
It should, btw. Pavement princesses in particular…there’s no logical reason for this to exist. Contractors in the entire rest of the world get by just fine with trucks that could fit in the cab of this monstrosity.
I remember driving from Houston to Dallas last year and seeing countless pavement princesses along the way. All unscathed and unloaded.
I saw one pickup truck with a trailer attached and it was a fucking Rivian.
You’re the person everone rolls their eyes at
OP is so sexist for not being exactly the average human height!
I think your brain has rotted. Use some common sense to think why the dude that is average male height mentioned average male height for a visual comparison.
Who ever wrote that meme text has definitively been huffing too much exhaust.
i swear it used to be 5’10”….
but, i have been feeling taller lately…I’m 190cm and was never tall but I’m a giant among my little brother’s friends (adults)
I feel you, I’m 235cm and was always the short one
