99.9% of suburbanites aren't hauling haybales nor are towing livestock. 99.9% of people are driving these dumbass vehicles to go to Costco, Home Goods, Target, Starbucks and the local McDonald's. Because a story exists that's probably 2-3 standard deviations from the norm doesn't really add much to the overall point that most of America lives in the city and burbs and are driving all of these stupidly sized cars that are completely unnecessary and are killing too many people. And all to line the pockets of automakers. Somehow 3 billion people from Europe to Asia are capable of having families, sports practices and haul around stuff, yet don't need stupidly sized vehicles to survive.


I guess no tradesmen or sportsmen live in the suburbs anymore.


I guess no trades people live in Europe all the way to Japan. Oh wait, that's right, they do, and almost none of them use these stupidly sized trucks. In fact, they often drive vans.


Back to what is offered in America. Only two small pickups - the Maverick and Santa Cruz, which are both great but don’t safely fit everyone’s work or lifestyle needs.

Europe and Japan have different offerings. Plenty of Americans choose vans but they are not any smaller than the trucks you’re so offended by, are LESS safe and they don’t allow cross-use, like serving as a family vehicle.

Why don’t you just say you hate tradesmen… that theyre beneath you - stop explaining to others how they should manage their lives.

Another silly comment. Shows you do not have teenagers on your insurance! Or horses!

Cars should be taxed by size/ weight, and the rates should be sharply progressive. If you insist on driving around in one of these dicks-on-wheels, you should pay A LOT to compensate the rest of us for the damage you're causing.


100% this.


Why not add gas mileage to the mix?

Trump announced all cds drivers must read English moron maga thinks he established that law he did not

The law requiring CDL drivers to speak and read English sufficiently to converse with the public was established in July 1937 with the establishment of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). Specifically, it's found in 49 CFR §391.11(b)(2). This rule has been in place for decades, with inspectors citing drivers for violations and placing them out of service

Dam fools cult of stupidity

As a person who has owned many trucks for Horse trailering yes the US could benefit from Japanese safety technology

Toyota and Nissan sell pick ups that are just as big. Why leave those out of your crazy rant?


That appears to be an HD pickup, which Nissan and Toyota don’t sell. It’s not that much bigger than the ones they do sell however.

Democrats need the UAWs support! Without they will always lose elections. Therefore Democrats support tax incentives for big trucks and SUVs!

This means we have to completely eliminate front tinted windows.
There are so many illegal ones out there where you can't see the driver.
