Mammoth tank vs medium tank
In the future, cars will be so big that we will need a second, smaller car to drive us to the driver’s seat.
Everyone should get a Honda Element.
Put a Ford Focus behind it to show what people actually need.
Too bad the gov blocks smaller pickups from being imported. Practical sized vehicles.
Shouldn’t generalize like that. People with a legitimate need to space for hauling cargo exists.
Agreed but considering how bed sizes haven’t changed but the rest of the trucks tripled in size his point isn’t too far off the mark
Thanks for blinding everyone on the road with your Dodge.
Fuck people who buy those big beasts, then can’t handle them for shit, and try to park as close to the front door as possible, fucki ng up parking for every other vehicle. Never even trying to park straight…ungh.
Edit: to be fair, i used to own an oversized pick up. Similar but a much much earlier style/model. At the time i regularly traveled forestry roads like, 40 kns into the back country, so i actually needed it. Got rid of it when it was clear i was not going to be going into the field anymore. These do NOT belong in a city.
For the 3 days out of the year they might actually need such a massive beast they can rent a truck. I remember when I was car shopping and told a “car guy” at work I was looking at a Subaru he got all worked up. He tried to talk me into buying a massive SUV or pickup because they were more macho or some shit.

Every trip in a truck with an empty bed is a waste. Tooling around with stuff in the bed without the intent to deliver/use it at your destination is even worse.
Yet that describes 99.99999% of all pickup truck use in America. Just a huge ass waste of gas and space in parking lots.
Trucks are expensive too! If I were a scam artist I would definitely be targeting people driving shiny pickup trucks with empty beds. Because they definitely aren’t practical or realistic people.
Wait: Maybe that’s how MAGA started? 🤔
I just looked up the dimensions of that thing and it has 10cm (3inch) shorter bed than mine. How you even manage to pull that off with a truck that big is beyond me.
These brodozers aren’t used for anything useful. I like having 4’ between the wheelwells and a box long enough to get a full toolbox across the front of the box and still get a 1000L fertilizer tote in it. And low enough that I can climb in the box without a ladder.
Ford Ranger 2004 vs 2024 is like Mario before and after mushroom.
Sorry about your massive penis.
Nothing to apologize for
I cant actually tell what you drive, it’s hidden behind that douchemobile in front.
Nissan Navara King Cab D40. In the US these are called Frontier.
I remember a time when that Frontier was considered a big truck, especially compared to Rangers and Tacomas.
Now the Rangers and Tacomas are almost as big as the Dodge in this…
ETA: Just noticed you’re in Europe. Sorry that 'murican fattism has reached you, I didn’t know these compensators existed across the pond.
My dad has a '93 ranger, the modern rangers are almost the size of the f150s of that era, and you can’t even get them like a 7ft bed like he has.
The 4 cylinder manages almost 20mpg which isn’t too shabby even by modern truck standards. If I could get pretty much the exact same truck with a modern engine, maybe a hybrid, it would be a no-brainer.
4wd would be nice too, his is RWD, and that thing doesn’t like rain, snow, loose gravel, pretty much anything but dry asphalt when you don’t have any weight in the bed.
We’ve gotten plenty of use out of that truck, we’re not towing or hauling anything heavy, but we’ve moved a lot of furniture with it, picked up some small loads of bulky lumber and such from the hardware store, hauled camping gear for a bunch of kids back when I was in scouts, etc. I don’t need anything bigger.
I’m kind of crossing my fingers that the maverick adds a mid gate to extend that tiny bed a bit. That would basically check all of the boxes I’m looking for. Ideally that would still be my 2nd vehicle in addition to a small EV for most of my daily commuting but I’d get enough use out of a truck like that to be worth it if I could afford and had parking space for a second car.
Sorry that 'murican fattism has reached you
I don’t mind. I’m a car guy myself, and I like them in all shapes and sizes. I’d probably drive one too if I lived in the US, but over here they’re just way too big and impractical not to mention they stick out in traffic like a sore thumb and, quite frankly, make you look kind of a douche.
They’re way too big here too we’re just replacing infrastructure to satisfy thousands of people’s penis envy instead of telling people no.
I did the same when a coworker showed up with an F350 crew cab 6.5ft bed. Lifted, offroad lights, cb antenna, diesel (which is the HD option in the US). He lives in the suburbs and pays laborers for everything. So I plopped my dutiful little Mazda B2300 next to it (Ranger) that regularly hauls a little bit of wood.

'96 Ranger 2.3L here. My truck has the same engine as the Ford Pinto and that’s the way I likes it!
iTs A liMa blah blah blah pinto, lima, it’s beans inside, this is beans
Best parking I’ve ever seen on a truck that big, and it’s still crooked.
I will never understand why truck owners love backing into stalls.
Ass end can hang over the grass behind the curb so you aren’t sticking into the parking lane any further than you need to, and you can see when you pull out so you don’t run over anyone’s kid.
Pretty obviously.
- Easier to fit into tighter spots
- Easier to get the vehicle straight and on the middle of the slot
- Safer as you’re far more likely to hit a person/car when backing out onto the street rather than backing into a parking slot that you can see in the mirrors in it’s entirety
- Faster to leave if you’re in a hurry (probably why it’s called assault parking)
This is my first truck but I’ve always parked my vehicles this way.
I’ve never seen something as big as the one on the left, in my entire life. Probably because I haven’t been to the US in a long ass time?
This isn’t from the US either
Plot twist: they’re both OP’s
I have a 2011 Nissan titan that is completely stocked no big stupid lift just some different rims and that’s it. It has done great work for me and my family I’ve never had any issues with it I regularly keep it serviced and it will do 20mpg. The amount of people I know who have big giant bro diesel trucks with 2 story high lifts and political stickers on them that never see a speck of dirt and just go to the McDonald’s is stupid. And they all complain about gas prices yet at the same time brag about how there trucks do 8mpg to own the libs…
20! Wow… I get from close to 40 on my Toyota auris most weeks. And that’s mostly urban driving
