Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    You could have done all of that in a small truck like the old ford ranger.

    No one thinks that trucks aren’t useful. The problem is the absolutely preposterous size of these trucks.

      You are 100% correct I absolutely could have. However the ranger was discontinued and the next closest vehicle was a Tacoma, which sold for 42,000. My f150 was 26,000

        That’s fine, I’m not calling you out specifically. My point is that the argument for the necessity of trucks isn’t an argument for the necessity of these giant behemoths. Someone might genuinely need a truck, but they probably don’t need a truck that has a hood height nearly 6 feet and barely fits in a standard size parking spot.
