I fucking hate hate hate giant pickup trucks. They're a huge percentage of the vehicles on the road here and they almost never get used for pickup truck things. It's so rare that I see one with anything in the bed that it's a notable event.
They're just mega sized luxury SUVs with oversized engines that are towing around what is essentially a trailer, all the time. Except they kill a bunch of kids because they have flat grilles that create a giant blind spot in front.
Even worse is the payload capacity competition. It's not enough to have a big ass truck, it's gotta be one of the 7.2 liter powerstroke, super duty, lariat, king ranch, xlt, Laredo sport power wagons. It also has to have dual tires and a giant class 5 trailer hitch with 3 balls. If it doesn't have a lift kit and knobby mud tires, well, you just aren't a manly man anymore.
The people that own them are the worst drivers, too. Always tailgating, taking wide turns into the oncoming lane, never fitting it into a parking spot. They gotta rev the engine big at traffic lights, because it's really impressive that you can angle your foot 25 degrees.
Good idea. I was thinking of much less humane solutions
