Nobody likes these fucks in the giant trucks. I run a condo and those trucks stick out about 2 feet into the driveway and fit tightly on the wide side. We started banning them and it pissed off a few rednecks, but if you buy a car that literally doesn't fit in your parking spot, that's your problem.
Yeah, I require a large truck for work. I haul a large trailer and work rural. If I didn't need it, I wouldn't blow money on it. I park out of the way on principle, and pretty much don't bother with downtown areas anymore, sadly. Sorry for the inconvenience.
ok so i want to pick your brain here. What would be the most effective way to prevent these idiots from buying these large trucks, but still allowing these larger trucks on the market for the few rare instances where people actually need them.
I've had a few thoughts, notably just making smaller trucks alongside these larger trucks, they're going to be a lot cheaper and more efficient so market forces should do quite a bit of work there. Aside from there, i've considered just selling super duties and deleting the normal line, probably just leaving the duallies in all honesty. I've also considered just yeeting the bed and throwing a fifth wheel there as a standard feature, making it impractical for anything other than hauling heavy trailers.
Outside of this, i'm not sure, but i'm also not convinced most people that use these trucks even need them in the first place, even if they're doing work.
Require a truck driving license. These aren't cars.
