Why do they put such big engines in pigfat suvs and trucks if people don't drive it fast?

>>28450030 (OP)
trucks aren't "luxury vehicles" thoughever
The real question is why the FUCK do pickups tailgate when I'm cruising at 88mph, but when I hit 'em with the RockSpray™, their farm equipment can never keep up so they just pick the next closest person to tailgate. Why is that?

>t. 1.2 fiat driver
Probably just chilling as you do not thinking of “being overtaken”

Europoors are so pathetic

>>28450038
They are though. They're luxury vehicles with the pretensions of blue collar identity.

>>28450038
It depends on the trim. Most F150s are definitely luxury vehicles considering they're like 80k and aren't used for work

>>28450030 (OP)
Only the top performance trims are somewhat fast. Why a big engine? For towing. The main point of a truck is to tow shit. Yeah, I know most private owners don't actually use their truck. That's not the point.

>>28450038
Luxury vehicle is totally meaningless these days. A Honda Civic is luxurious as hell. It doesn't mean anything for a vehicle to be 'luxury'. Can you possibly need more than what a mid-trim Civic gives you?

>>28450114
Why are their interiors so shitty then? And why are they mostly slow as FUCK? Mostly.
>>28450115
They cost $80k because they are good at doing work because that's what they're for. At least they used to be good at doing work; "pandemic" cars are mostly pieces of shit. Mostly. The fact that most pickups are "garage queens" or "pavement princesses" doesn't make them luxury cars, to use the parlance of our times

>>28450119
>A Honda Civic is luxurious as hell.
No it isn't
I actually laughed at that, by the way; thanks for that

>>28450119
>Can you possibly need more than what a mid-trim Civic gives you?
Yes. And that's why it isn't a luxury car: it's built to the specs of what one needs -- one being an npc in the parlance of our times -- not what one wants

Also, being luxurious doesn't make something a Luxury Car
And a luxury to someone may be another's "mids as an af fuck f.a.m." to use the ebonics of our times

>>28450129
Or is it 'mid' as an af fuck f.a.m? I think they don't say "mids" anymore. I can never remember current ebonics.
And that was a fucking weed term in the first place just like "dabbing" that the fuckin eboniclets co-opted like fuckin usurpers

>>28450119
>Can you possibly need more than what a mid-trim Civic gives you?
You don't understand what luxury means. Luxury means above and beyond what you "need". That's literally what luxury means.

>>28450114
>They are THOUGH

>>28450175
I ride your mom

>>28450030 (OP)
I don't understand this post.
Either you are unable to estimate the speed of other vehicles or you were expecting the truck to accelerate while being overtaking.

*while being overtaken

>>28450166
yeah and a modern honda civic has way more than I need
I need air conditioning, maybe ABS/radio
A 2025 civic has all these dumb fucking gadgets I don't even want.
It IS a luxury car in that sense, even if in another it's a fwd econobox.

>>28450119
>A Honda Civic is luxurious as hell
kek this has to be bait right? some noisy fwd rough 4 cylinder shitbox isnt luxury

>>28450030 (OP)
How many sports car owners actually use their power or handling as they commute to work in stop and go traffic?

>>28450544
oh you euros don't know how bad you got it. Which Civic/Accord/any other vehicle under $100k has the interior room of a truck?

>>28450553
I can get an old aussie domestic for $5k and it's basically a Crown Vic
Why would I want an F150?

>>28450562
Crown Vics don't have anywhere near the interior room of a modern truck. They're also slow as fuck and make you look like a tweaker.

>>28450567
Don't care I like mine
And if I want lots of space I'll tow with it. Big pickups weren't common in Straya when these were built so they can tow. (Mine tows 3500 lbs because it has the standard tow hitch, if it had that option it could pull 5000 lbs braked)

>>28450654
I can see why you people still live in the dark ages.

>>28450661
Don't worry we're coming out of it. Local car industry went bust in 2017 and we're driving the same nu-shit you are which won't outlive the domestics from 2002.

This post can really be summed up with
>I don't understand the mechanics of vehicles

>>28450038
Midwestern rural plebs don’t understand what luxury is. You’re arguing with peasants.

>>28450030 (OP)
idk my 5.0 is pretty fast but I'm probably losing to a bmw because it's a fucking pickup, it's not rocket science
