Is it better to just get a Ford F550 or Ram 5500 or a real 18 wheeler truck? What kind of jobs are these trucks good for where they might be better than a big rig?

I have said this now at least once, but they used to use these up until recently as an aircraft tug at my local airport. Now they are using Hummer H1s, but the point stands is that it is an aircraft tug for cheaper than an actual aircraft tug.

As a pickup? Honestly it's inferior to an F-550 for that purpose. This should have a service bed with a crane on it.

have you seen how big american women are? I'd say this is undersized for the job

Why does it have to do work?
How many Ferraris or Lamborghinis or Corvettes wind up on the track? Why are cars that are capable of well over 200mph top speeds allowed on public roads?

Modern medium duty trucks look like ass. If you're gonna do a conversion like this, use an older one.

No as a work truck. Other than snow plowing and tow truck, what othere uses are there for it?

Reminder that trug threads are europoors who have been brainwashed and manipulated for generations by the ruling class to believe that efficiency is the most important aspect of life.
Theyre forced to live in 300 sq/ft apartments while their taxes pay the rent on a 5 bedroom house for Achmed, his 3 wives and 10 children.
1.3L shitboxes are the norm because the yearly displacement tax on anything larger is more than the vehicle is worth.

Its a continent of peons.

I just watched the first Michael bay transformers and that big gmc is badass as hell.

Yes, that's what I'm asking, as a work truck, what other uses other than snow plowing and towing cars is it good for? What other things is it great for towing that an F550 or 18 wheeler isn't a better alternative?

Service truck. They also get a lot of use as forestry trucks for towing fuck off huge woodchippers.

Why does it have to be a "work" truck?
Does your vehicle have a back seat?
Does that mean you should only be driving it when you have passengers?

>>28685211
You deliver destination trailers to campgrounds for a living.

Yes, because the current state of europeons makes the first world sad.
You once had global empires.
Now your own country isnt even sovereign- you follow the commands of the EU.
Post your country so we can look up automotive regulations and demographic shift.

Not a euro.
They're just gay looking, comical looking and espouse a fake and plastic working class identity.

I like the International CXT.
They were literally marketed as "promotional vehicles", literally to peacock and grab attention for your business

If you dont have a use for a truck then I question what kind of a "life" you have.
>>
>>28685211
I've only seen like 2 of those. I do see a lot of these Freightshaker based haulers which are similar. Horsefags use them to haul their one or two horses and snowbird boomers use them to haul their big ass fifth wheels. They kind of bridge the gap between a 450/550 and an actual semi tractor. They won't feel a 20k+lb trailer where a 450/550 will but they're easy to drive as a bobtail.

>>28685425
This is a mindset I don't get. I could buy glasses I didn't need but why would I if I can save for something cool instead? If you have $40k and need a vehicle, you can buy a $40k truck but instead you can buy something for $30k and spend the $10k on renting a supercar and a track for a few laps ($500) which will certainly be more interesting automotive experience than driving a truck, trips to Asia ($2k), Africa ($3,5k) and South America ($3k).

That's the difference between renting vs owning.
Your examples are literally paying for a fleeting experience. Paying someone else for temporary use of what they possess.
You went to the Bahamas and rented a jet ski one year.
Meanwhile that truck owner takes his jet ski to the lake on the weekends whenever he wants.

You dont "get it" because you still have the midnset of a serf.
