>>28092102I didn't understand the fascination with these trucks, until I saw the rollout at SEMA last night. Now I think I understand them.
>>28093011They're like new age donks.
>>28093011
>>28093011>I didn't understand the fascinationit's black men signalling to other black men that dey bussy is moist
>>28092904Until they don't.
it's annoying that some people try to pretend they have a practical purpose, concede that anyone with a truck larger than this only has it because they enjoy forcing other road users to make way for them or die beneath their wheels and the matter will be over, although you will be called a nigger and no one will be able to deny the validity of that assessment
>>28092102>"He needs it to tow his boat once a year"I've noticed used boats rarely get any use. Are they just too busy working to even enjoy the spoils of their labor?
>>28092102this is why i support self driving, most people are too low IQ to be entrusted with vehicles anymore
>>28092194A fair argument, but then I don't want to hear bitching about "the cost of living" when you're upgrading your $1300 phone every year, drinking $12 coffee everyday, and subscribing to ten different streaming services.
>UGH why can't everyone just drive an Opel like me?! If *I* can't live in excess, then no one should!Euroids, transitfags, and bikefags should all be quarantined to a tiny island in the north atlantic where everything will be "walkable" and there's no need for transportation period.
>>28092249Nigger, my area went from less than 2 bucks for 93 to 4 bucks for 87. You're not fooling anyone.
>>28094023Bitch, I live in California. During Trump's presidency it was like $4.30 a gallon. Now it's $4.80 a gallon. It's chump change unless you drive a massive fuck huge truck. It was only $2 when we had a world wide pandemic that collapsed gas prices. Nothing to do with him
>>28093929>I've noticed used boats rarely get any use.Thats an environmental issue. If your boat goes on the sea/ocean and you dont use it for 3 months you have at least 12 hours worth of repairs to get it back on the water. And that figure compounds 50% on top of base the longer you leave it. So many people who leave their boat for a year arent willing to put in a weeks work plus several thousand dollars to get it barely sea worthy
Because of this.These trucks with the super high front and awful visibility are causing more accidents and killing more people.
Trucks have created this illusion of being safer by being bigger with the idea being that they will just destroy whatever they hit.On the one hand this is slightly true and that they will almost certainly kill whatever they hit including being deliberately designed to go over cars compromising the safety barriers of those cars. The super high and flat front also result in catastrophic injuries to any pedestrian's hit.Ironically these trucks are not actually safer in the majority of crashes and collisions, being far more likely to roll over and lose control resulting in flips and spins causing much more unpredictable and dangerous injuries. They also generally far more likely to get into accidents because the majority of them are massively overpowered, very large with strange weight distribution and are quite literally industrial vehicles that should require specialist licenses to operateThe likelihood of this vehicle causing excessive injuries to the people around you mean that yes the owning one of these makes your bad person.
>>28095530Bro, I need this to haul a bag of potting soil every spring.

>>28095634I own more cars than you dumbfuck
>>28095641Can't possibly be as ugly slow and gay as your bus
>>28095648Post your car then, busrider.
>>28095530The only truck that I've ever almost been genuinely killed by was some jeet in an 18 wheeler. Can we ban those?
>>28095628>har har look at how I celebrate murdering people with my angry incel gifI use my '94 ranger, with a stick, to haul my bag of dirt, thanks.
>>28093469I dont know much about other makes but realistically newer F series trucks are not that much bigger than their equivalent cab predecessors, despite having deeper beds, more torque, more than double the HP, and significantly higher towing and hauling capacity which are the things I care about when shopping for a truck.
>>28095530>The super high and flat front also result in catastrophic injuries to any pedestrian's hit.this is the problem. the tall flat surface of those front ends is very effective at transmitting energy to a pedestrian's body. if you get run over by a sedan, you generally bend and hit the hood (hence euro legislation about hoods being safer for pedestrians), and depending on speed, you either go over the car or get thrown back). this sucks, but it sucks a lot less than what happens if you get hit by a truck. in that case, your entire body gets accelerated to 20/30/however many mph almost instantly, generating who the fuck knows how many Gs, and then you go flying off with that speed, so you also have the landing to look forward too. oh, and if the truck is going slow enough to not launch you, you're probably going under it, not over it. everything else you posted is bullshit. modern megatruggs and suvs ARE safer than smaller vehicles, and they don't roll over or whatever else. they also are expensive af and worse than sedans in many other ways, but occupant safety is not one of them.
>>28095659Fucker went straight on in a right turn lane. I hope it bloody well hurt.
>>28093469Whether or not most people use them for practical purposes modern trucks are far superior in HP, torque, and towing capacity. They’re even comfortable as Hell and spacious. Even modern midsize trucks which don’t have the abundant room or torque specs that full sizes do can still tow more than one of those OBS trucks. The only thing those old trucks have going for them is aesthetic, and probably superior payload rating, but that might be debatable.
Who the fuck caresThe modern pickup truck is a luxury vehicle
>>28092143How fucking short they are. My neighbor has the same truck lifted and doesnt look like a 5'2 midget
listen there europoor, you will never know the true freedom of driving 21 miles down through your neighbourhood freeway to local wallmart just to stock up on essential goods such as 5 gallon buckets of gatorade or whatever we need dem trucks okay?
> have a 3500 CCLB> can do move quite literally anything anywhereCope and seethe about it I guess

>>28095118Shut up goblinx
>>28095692>windshield is obscured by bullshit At least the 90s truck is honest. You see glass and you get a window.
>>28092904Boomers fall on both ends of that spectrum. Sometimes you get "I KNOW WHAT I'VE GOT" faggots and sometimes you get some old guy who just wants to get rid of something. The first one usually goes by Kelly Blue Book value +20% and the latter just comes up with a completely arbitrary price that isn't at all adjusted for inflation or market trends.
I don't hate the trucks unless they are truly retarded, like a massive lift and tires with almost no side wall or stupid lights in the wheel wells. Oh, and they their truck, but they don't re-aim the headlights.What I hate about modern trucks is the drivers. They are bullies on the road always merging abruptly without signaling. Recklessly passing in no-passing zones. While not limited to big trucks, they do gun it in neighborhoods.It is all a superiority complex, just like kids who had shoes with little air pumps. The difference is that air pumped shoes aren't going to cut you off at 80mph.
>>28096166shit i suck at grammer
>>28093469>large body passenger vehicles with a good wheelbase and ground clearance are all 20+ years old at the newest or very uncommon models with horrible maintenance>high displacement engines are effectively regulated out of existence for consumer cars>even pony cars are mostly 4 or 6 cylinder turbos and only have them on the high trim models or extremely boutique stuff like the HellcatTrucks are basically the only way to buy a durable vehicle with a large motor today. A good portion of the people who own them just want to comfortably ride on crappy roads and be cozy on long road trips. The bed space is literally just a formality so that the vehicle can actually have horsepower
>>28092102what the hell is this real?
>>28095652>>28095622>>28095698https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/suv-drivers-now-the-most-aggressive-13911Bigger cars, the suvs and american pickups, make people worse drivers.Not only are they more difficult to control but people driving them feel less concerned with driving safely. People in larger cars are more likely to speed and the more likely to cause accidents through dangerous driving.I'm not saying that these cars should be banned but there needs to be a regulation over some of their design features such as the front, and perhaps there needs to be some kind of additional license required
>>28092102>"He needs it to tow his boat once a year"Vehicle dismantlers and joyriders can still take it from him.

>>28096409Sounds pretty efficient and a great marriage bonding scenario
>>28095692>realistically newer F series trucks are not that much bigger than their equivalent cab predecessorsIn general the average vehicle sizes and weights on the public roads keep rising. This causes the NHTSA to constantly revise the car safety requirements for sedan cars higher and higher in order to maintain safety against behing hit by the average vehicle on the roads that year.
>>28096390>two-thirds of SUV drivers are women and geriatrics There’s your problem.
Any vehicle with more than 150hp can tow a 6000+ pound boat and trailer easily. Just put some rear shocks and a class 3 hitch on your camry and voila, towing.

>>28095525Anon, it's phone use. The percentage of trucks as the total vehicle population has been stable since the 90s. Among vehicle types, there is no bias in pedestrian fatalities.
>>28099373Best is preventative; see them coming, trust your gut, and get ready. If caught, toss your keys in a bush or drain. Something to get them lost. They have to be out of there before a police response. You have all the time in the world to find or replace your keys.

Here in North America you can be a fast food worker and drive a WRX on TE37's or a pretty new lifted truck if you're smart with your finances. That just simply isn't happening in Europe. The fuel cost alone on a 12mpg truck puts trucks out of reach for 99% of the population. Hell even my SUV isn't legal to drive on a normal license there.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this one, but I've never owned an F150, could current or old owners tell me what I should look for regarding problems? Or should I pass this one up?All I have is a picture of the For Sale sign since it's on the side of a major highway, so it's not like I had time for a photo session that would make a dealer blush.

>>28103492You can talk to him. Make a list of shit that might break and get a list of stuff that was fixed in the last 50k miles on the truck.If they almost was fixed lowball, the shit out of him. If lots were fixed, then it might be a fair price.
im some cashier at some shitty grocery store, so i cant talk that much shit, but some dude comes every so many days in his big ass lifted monster truck....and he opens the door and throws a stool onto the ground. needs a little stool to get into the truck. needs a little stool to get out of the truck. i just dont get it.i guess he is a mexican fella, so i actually think he DOES use his truck for actual daily work, but still.

>>28102125I can't speak for serious accidents but my truck has been hit twice while parked and fared a hell of a lot better with its steel bumpers than the cars did.

>>28104015LOL that still has the sales sticker in the window!
I get you'd rather own the truck and stuff, but a quick check on uhaul tells me that I can rent a 26 foot box truck for 5 days, and if I drove it 200 miles, it would cost me a grand total of about 500 bucks.so it really does seem like, if you really just haul something like a boat twice a year, and you spent 60 grand on a truck, when it would of cost you like a grand a year instead to just rent one?

>>28108995>old trucka can tow circles around nu-trucksSpoken like someone who has never towed and never owned a truck. Brakes have gotten significantly better, engines have gotten better, frame compositions have gotten better, we can run computer simulations now to better design suspension geometry that can adapt to bigger loads. I love old trucks dont get me wrong, but the difference between towing with an old truck and a new truck is night and day. I have a 2000 F-350 7.3/CC/SB/DRW. In its day it was "the truck" for towing. Despite that its got a GVWR of just 11k lbs. I have a 2017 F-150 with a GVWR of 8k lbs and it can get that up to speed and stop it with ease. My only real complaint is stability, but its also a 1/2 ton with soft 1/2 ton suspension. I've driven a few SRW 6.7 alumiduty F-250s and they tow and handle leagues above my old(er) F-350 with a GVWR to match, most of them being 15k+ lbs. I plan on buying one in the next 2 years.
