As i got older i realized this is the literal definition of compensating or "lack of balls" as i'd say, men who are very insecure get these type of vehicles, usually 5'5 to 5'11, they do the utmost to avoid on road confrontation and they feel this is the solution. Reason you'll see 6'0 to 6'6 men in minivans and SUVs, they got nothing to prove.

Despite its small size it could haul
The Reliant TW9 (Or ant) was popular with British councils for its low price, cheap running costs, ease of repair and the fact that the manufacturer would sell it as just a cab and chassis making conversion to various purposes very very easy.

Like many of Reliants vehicles the engine was basically just a motorbike engine and it had the three wheels and fiberglass body that were a hallmark of Reliants design MO.

Yeah diesels were really popular prior to dieselgate because of that in Europe. I think like half the cars sold here were diesels. Audi made this in the early 2000s. The Audi A2 3L which got it's name because it's average fuel economy was 3L/100km or 78.4 mpg. On highway it got 87 mpg.

I don't know what OP's intent was, but there's a difference between driving a truck and driving a "look at me" mobile that used to be a truck but is now useless for any kind of truck stuff because it's too tall to haul or tow and the giant wheels with skinny tires would get destroyed in half a mile on a real trail.

I love trucks and drive one that's got a leveling kit and slightly oversized tires but these mall crawlers are an affront to white blue collar culture and are just suburban wiggers imitating niggermobiles.

i think i had to do with Europe's refineries are cracked at a level to produce more fuel oil (diesel) than gasoline. i was reading about this years ago

>Well, now’s the time to come clean. A normal Reliant Robin will not roll unless a drunken rugby team is on hand. Or it’s windy. But in a headlong drive to amuse and entertain, I’d asked the backroom boys to play around with the differential so that the poor little thing rolled over every time I turned the steering wheel.

I've driven one before. The things solid as it gets. Though a little terrifying when on roads with larger vehicles in abundance due to its small size.

It's not ideal but I've still done plenty of stuff with my small 5' bed truck that I couldn't do with a car or SUV, and it's a way better daily driver than a big truck, a tiny Japanese truck, or a cargo van would be. I'll probably go up to a half ton for my next truck because I moved to a house with a much bigger garage and driveway but in general a crew cab short bed truck is a really good compromise that can do 99% of truck stuff any normal person needs and there's a reason they're so popular.

Could be a similar situation to the 1/3 burger that one restaurant chain tried to do in the USA to compete with McDonalds quarter pounder.

1/3 is bigger than 1/4
But the average consumer thought 1/4 was bigger.
So American looks at engine sees bigger number and assumes is better

>>508228105
That’s generally how it goes. Either larger and more power or larger and lazier and therefore longer lasting. We aren’t hampered by silly things like displacement tax.

>>508228305
Here in the UK the main concern is always fuel economy. How much is it gonna cost to run?
Hence why they so heavily advertise (and manipulate) their MPG figures.

>>508228811
Mpg takes a backseat since it’s really not that expensive unless you live in a shithole like cali. We will always take a more powerful or robust engine.

>>508223104
>1.6L
That's not remarkable efficiency with an engine that small. America makes some very fuel efficient cars, but that's not the focus for the new car consumer at this point. Our gas is no where near as expensive is yours (aside from California) because we dont tax it like crazy. Because of that, people generally want faster, bigger cars here and development leans into it.

>>508228811
>Here in the UK the main concern is always fuel economy. How much is it gonna cost to run?
That's because you're the poorest country in Europe.

>>508220197 (OP)
Buy used and pay cash

>>508229070
Also because our government slaps a lot of tax on fuel.
Smaller vehicles are also more sensible on British and European roads. As the roads are typically not as big and have less straight lines.
One of the reasons American cars sell so poorly in the UK is that most of them are just too big to be practical without really offering anything useful for the size.
Meanwhile small Japanese cars? Wildly popular.

>>508220519

To be completely frank, we call trucks like this "pavement princesses". the huge lift and giant rimmed wheels are almost exclusively done by people who dont actually use their vehicles for off-roading or any sort of work/towing. Its almost entirely useless, and the off roading vehicles that have any use for that much lift will have very small rims, and large tires with low tire pressure.

Tldr; american trucks are sweet but dont get big rims unless you want people to say you have a little weiner

Yeah every state I've lived in here has a 2" limit on lifting your car. I think you can do more but it needs to then have an engineering certificate and it's a pain in the ass and might get rejected anyway. So most people just stick to 2"

I sometimes imagine an alternate timeline where vans rather than trucks became the rugged manly status symbol.

fuckin oath mate, i promise. i didn't think it was very fair, but i see where the guys were comin from sometimes

>>508231490
Why do they always have to block the parking lot and take 5 minutes to back into their spot? It's like a weird cult of douchebags and wanna be boomers.
Trying to pretend they're rich to impress their wanna be boomer friends

>>508231046
Yeah, we also do pretty big lifts on real off road rigs, but with smaller wheels and huge tires, 37"s are pretty common now and plenty run bigger. If you want to see a good comparison between Aussie and (real) American off road rigs, and the trails we use them on, check out 4WD247's America videos on Youtube, bunch of Aus guys doing famous trials here and one of them even brought his 70 Series.

While optional, extended cabs were extremely rare in the past because they're stupid and useless. The only ones that existed were for hauling crew members to the jobsite.
Driving a pickup was also extremely uncool and embarrassing up until the minitruck craze in the early 90s

>>508220197 (OP)

Trucks are not a problem in the US since the car-centric infrastructure allows for ample space to use these cars without that much worry. In the Netherlands however, especially on/in the streets, there are significant size restrictions so you need to slow down to less than a crawl to go through the street without hitting anything. It is just not practical to have these things in places that the infrastructure is not able to accommodate oversized vehicles like that.

>>508231599
This
For me, it's the same thing as seeing a shitty Honda civic with a giant top fuel wing on it

Can someone explain to me the infatuation with pickups? Why not use a van, which does all the same things, but keeps your stuff protected from nogs and elements?

>>508231912
Crew cabs are superior in most every way. They got popular for good reason.

>>508232220
Vans are not manly? I can't imagine a woman driving a van, but I can imagine a soccer mom driving a pickup.

>>508232153
They are only superior in transporting fatasses. Nothing else.
And this is where the problem lies.
It no longer becomes a useful utility vehicle, it becomes a passenger vehicle that's heavy, slow, and obnoxious

>>508232084
Trucks get better drivetrain, and having a bit open at the back for gooseneck trailers and dirty shit makes them a lot more versatile. Vans are good for trades that have lots of small fragile/valuable things. Even then you can just throw a service body on a truck and have the same while still having the superior frame and the like.

>>508232323
This. Real hard working men drive vans
Pickups are now for faggots and women

This is my daily. Bunch of slack jawed faggots in this thread. Unless you are driving one of these how can you be sure your kids get to school? In a crash it’s you or the other guy but not me I didn’t get my commuter in the toy aisle. If you disagree you gay and if you call me a liar your Jewish. Also it runs on uranium that I dump on the side of the road fuck you

>>508232338
I can’t think of a reason to not want more room in your utility vehicle for people or fragile stuff. It makes it more well rounded.

>>508231473
Common sense? The flat design of the front means if you hit someone they're laid out instead of rolling onto the hood. Bad mpg means more intensive petroleum harvesting. Plenty of these don't have catalytic converters so more air pollution.

>>508226930

And most of those suckers are women

>>508231195
>I sometimes imagine an alternate timeline where vans rather than trucks became the rugged manly status symbol.
It's one of those things where if the vehicle is too practical, it loses its cool factor. People don't like things that are too functional, because they take it for granted and grow to dislike something that has nothing wrong with it.

Better engines and transmissions, I’m pretty sure none of our even get a proper 4x4. Gooseneck is far superior to regular towing. Frames are generally stronger to handle more weight

>>508233189

I think that ship has sailed long after 2022. I remember when /o/ truckolds said their truck would never lose value, and now they're upside down on a truck they overpaid for.

No problem

>>508232638
Nah dude, most new trucks are legitimately fast as shit. The handling leaves a lot to be desired, but the acceleration and (obviously) torque is great. Especially if you do just a little tune and are willing to violate EPA regulations.

>>508233343
They do lose value a lot slower compared to a lot of vehicles.

I'll give credit for that. Their claim was that it would never lose value, which is preposterous for a machine that has a non-infinite lifespan.

You can fit more engine since there is more bay to work with, transmissions are also better since more room in-between the frame. Yeah being able to handle more weight is a pretty good thing.

>>508233594

It's a worrying indicator, one of many. It makes me wonder when everything will fall apart, but there seems to be a mix of desperate struggling and infinite economic pump from M2 infusion.

Real truck users have a flatbed or van.

>>508233543
You see that and think it means more weight, but I know guys who tow large horse trailers, vehicles, etc which weigh much more than what you would be fitting into that shitbox.

With that said, 99% of truck owners dont ever use the trucks to their actual tow capacity and are just enjoying the sensation of having a yacht with wheels

>>508233869
>>508234155
How much weight can your truck handle?
Mercedes-Benz TN could handle from 1 to 3 tonnes - those were considered "small-ton".

>>508233915
Honestly, since I moved out in da woods, I kind of need a pickup to haul trash to the dump and other projects, but I'll I'd get a cheap ranger for that. Not some fucking escalade with a sunroof

>>508234055
Did you just call me a nigger?

>>508234279

>>508234479
So it's more of a lifestyle thing?

>>508234279
>>508234479
But according to the internet, about 2.5 tons.

>>508234155
A 3/4 ton pickup has a towing capacity of 20,000lbs.
You need a CDL if you are over 26,000lbs. Total weight of your truck, trailer, the fuel in it, your lunch, and your fat ass.
So if you don't have a CDL and you buy a dually or 3/4 ton, it means you are a larping fool, driving up the price for guys that actually need them

>>508220197 (OP)
The solution is make bigger roads so trucks can be even larger.

>>508220197 (OP)
Wouldn't fuck with these guys kek, they are the type to shoot a cop on the side of the road after getting pulled over. It's driven by white rednecks with the foresight of niggers, basically. I knew a guy with the last name Sneed who drove one of these long time ago, he was based.

My wife and I each drive different Mercedes as our dailies (hers is an SUV and I have an AMG coupe), but we still have a big Silverado crew cab 4x4 to use when the occasion calls for it.

> Chevrolet Colorado
> Hyundai Santa Cruz
> Honda Ridgeline

>>508234282
My GMC Canyon is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I've owned 2 Hondas and 2 Acuras in my tenure, too. I had issues with each of those cars. This truck though? Nothing.

>>508234683
My dad used to have the one like this >>508233138 - it could carry 1 ton, 1.5 if the pay was good. Honestly, the frame could handle even more, it's the tyres that gave up.

For me, yes. If I were to get a truck, I'd probably buy something like a Chevy Colorado or Toyota Tacoma and put a cover over the bed. Just have no need for a big truck, though they are really comfy to drive if you ever get the chance

>>508234764
No.
They are pieces of shit

>>508234740
Commercial use is not the same as consumer use. Consumers should not be daily driving trucks. Even sedans are too big.

>>508226930
Part of the problem is that the diesel is always way more expensive when we get it and diesel fuel is more expensive than regular gas on top of that, like with the last-gen Colorado you'd have to drive it 250k miles or something before the fuel savings would pay for the diesel option and virtually nobody that buys that kind of truck new expects to keep it that long.

>>508224844
A lot of people seem to have a really hard time understanding the idea of a multipurpose compromise vehicle. Most people can't afford to have multiple nice vehicles anymore (or don't have parking space for them) and even if you can, a lot would rather have a nice daily driver truck and a sports car or motorcycle instead of a single-purpose utility truck and a boring sedan or SUV, and if you can only afford one nice vehicle it's also preferable to have a nice do-everything truck instead of two unitasker shitboxes.

They suck ass and are as large as older full size trucks. The newer van/cabover style compact trucks are good.

>>508233896
the problem was the overblown market in the 2020s thanks to coof shutting down parts factories

dealerships went on a feeding frenzy, making thousands on each deal, which pushed the manufacturer prices up, so when the bubble popped a number of these dealerships went bankrupt

i can attest to this because last summer i saw a TON of trucks in random lots of hi rises i worked at, the window stick sun rotted and falling off

it went from a dealership problem, bankrupt to a bank and manufacturer problem. they were betting on those good times lasting forever

>>508235407
>Part of the problem is that the diesel is always way more expensive when we get it and diesel fuel is more expensive than regular gas on top of that,
Well that's a shame. I have a feeling Americans would love diesel engines if they had acces to them. I'm talking oldschool diesels, these things could run on piss, coal and used oil.

>>508235358

Label anything over 5,000lbs. As commercial vehicle only.

Then bring back simple comfy pickups.

*sometimes TENs of thousands. no dealership would let go of their trucks because they knew the market (their business obviously) and the mfgs were cashing in on it

then it all blew up. i got a 4x4 tacoma, and if i bought it just a few months later, they would've put corvette price window stickers on it

>>508234868
I just bought a 3500 Denali Ultimate, and for $105k GMC should have better quality. One of the dually fender flares is loose because the double sided tape they use to attach them to the body didn't adhere, and one of the A-pillar grab handles has a crack in it. Two things that should have been spotted at the factory. I also had to purchase OEM rear fenderwell liners because they ship them without anything protecting the steel back there. It will be used to pull a gooseneck horse trailer.

I have a Ranger. I like it but it's basically a '90s F-150. There are no small trucks anymore, just "midsize" trucks that are the size half tons used to be, and unibody crossovers with "truck" beds. I think the Ridgeline and Maverick have niche use cases and are decent vehicle but they're really competing with crossovers and not with traditional trucks.

>>508234479
Personally I'd probably have an SUV instead of a truck myself, if only we actually got any decent ones in America. The Wrangler and Bronco are too compromised for the removable tops and retro styling, the Suburban-class things are too huge and expensive, the Euro options are just plain too expensive, and the Toyotas are overpriced and miserable to drive for people with long legs like me. I'd buy the fuck out of a Ford Everest if we got it here, it's basically the same thing as my Ranger but with an SUV back, and since it's basically a Ranger it still tows like one so I could use a utility trailer for things that won't fit inside it.

I have Rams and Fords too (I own a construction company), and Fords are the best for a work truck, but my mom will be driving this pulling her horses. GMCs have the best interior, best ride and handling (IFS) and look nice. I hate the current Ford interiors with cheap shitty plastic everywhere. The Duramax in the GMC is powerful enough that it will beat the others 0-60, with something around a 6.5 second time unloaded.

>>508235609
We do, most of the bigger trucks (250/2500 and up) have 6 or 8 cyl turbodiesels as options and they're very popular. We just don't get them in regular cars or "small" trucks, and most people who want to spend extra for better efficiency go for hybrid options instead. I'd actually be really interested in a PHEV truck myself, since the idea of never having to use gas for everyday commuting and errands but still having the range and power for long trips sounds really nice.

Fair I’ve always heard they are nice but you are giving up a lot with the duramax making less than the others with more issues from what I’ve heard, they also fucked their version of the 10r140 with a weaker TC making the shifting worse. Also needing alignments on one tons is weird.

>>508235915
Agreed, although to be specific the engine most people regard as the best is the 12 valve 5.9 Cummins which isn’t put into pickups anymore, but I do know the 6.7 is pretty good as well.

Another light duty diesel people usually agree as being one of the greats is the 7.3 powerstroke made by international. I personally also like the international 7.3 idi, although they are severely underpowered. The 90s were the golden age for light duty diesels.
