All they can drive is their two feet.

lmao

Semi trucks are rated for 1 million miles pulling 80,000 pound trailers. That thing has never done hard work in its life, its barely broken in.
>t.powertrain engineer for a company that makes these trucks

>>513302147 (OP)
You laugh, but you have no clue how poor and cucked we are: jobrad.org

>>513302147 (OP)
Link to the listing, I want to buy it.

>>513302844
commercial diesels are considered broken in at around 200k
they run over 1,000,000 miles before needing an engine swap or rebuild, which are not that expensive considering trucking has a lot of shops specialized for commercial tractors and plenty of supply for replacement parts.

>>513303047
How come no cars are rated for a milly

>>513302147 (OP)
What the fuck is that thing XD an suv and the short bus had a baby :D

>>513303926
not at all, high top cargo vans (sprinters) are very common here.
an alt-brand wouldn't even be noticed.

>>513303926
We have plenty of those. We just have other options too because our streets aren't from the 1300s.

>>513303926
Not at all we have your rebranded Dacias? and they are shit

>>513302844
You could easily run that for the next century with rebuilds every 25 years.

>>513303965
its a tractor custom

>>513303931
Because they would cost as much as a new 18 wheeler. Those start at like $250k

>>513302147 (OP)
Ugly ass car. Reminds me of those yellow Hummers that were popular in the early 2000's.

>>513302147 (OP)
what kind of driver's license you need to drive this?

>>513304282
Thats why im buying a CXT once I have enough money saved.
>>513304299
Its been converted to meet the bare minimum DOT standards for an RV so you dont need a CDL to drive it which is why it has an AC on the roof.

>>513302147 (OP)
Looks so cool

>>513302844
>seething faggot replies
yep, is actually correct and fpbp.

>>513304316
navistar 7.3l diesel in fords get a million. ford trucks from 1997 to 2001 had the powerstroke turbo diesel, but the non-powerstroke could get a million too.

>>513304454
As long as the air brakes have been replaced and it’s straight personal it’s fine to drive for a normal license.

>>513302844
this is a good analogy for the current dating scene

>>513303931
Because they want you to buy a new one in less than 150,000 miles or just after you finally paid off the six year loan. They actually build freight trucks to last because they know society would fall apart without those fuckers

>>513304539
I think it's cute

>>513302147 (OP)
Hey guys, can I join this thread?

>>513302147 (OP)
I would literally live in that fucker.

>>513303926
I could drive that fucker easily

>>513303926
americans have these as branded as Ram vans and also Merc Sprinters, though theyre rare and mostly used by consumer delivery companies like UPS,Fedex,amazon, DHL

>>513305139
Yfw manual tranny

>>513305186
>DHL
>A delivery company

Yeah, just like how Nestle is a "chocolate company"

DHL is so shitty at deliveries, I'm 99% sure it's a business for the purpose of massive money laundering.

>>513302147 (OP)
How much it consumes x/100km?

>>513305139
oh nonono... hahahahahaha

>tfw you will never ever be a 1st world born person in golden age of America (gobbless)
>tfw you will never have a suburb comfy house like in Home Alone movie
>tfw you will never experience having V8 vehicle starting it in freezing cold just to hear it rumbling and get the cabin hot for comfry ride in white snowy areas while you chug your hot cup of coffee

>>513305319
i dont care. wrote it as an example. in europe we have legit DHL deliveries, no idea how they operate in US

>>513305411
Oh you fucker. I've literally driven Promasters and CDVs before. Why the fuck is it a manual?

>>513304539
Does anyone but the faggot french even like these tho?
Europe is station wagon land.

>>513304299
Why though?

>>513305540
>Why the fuck is it a manual?
to save businesses money and maintaince
the auto usually costs like £1k more

>>513305411
Oh no, a bong thinks driving a manual is some sort of high achievement. I can teach a 16yo in one afternoon how to do the magical shift change.

>>513305540
Because people who understand how a car actually works drive them.

It's funny that we are mostly skipping the stage where those people have to switch to automatic transmission.

They are literally going to go from stick shift, straight to faggy EV's because of laws.

>>513305694
ohh.

>>513305752
lot of Amazon vans are now EVs and the NGDV for USPS is too.

>>513302147 (OP)
The price and colour is retarded but this would be fkn awesome to have something like this as a camper or something. Not sure what you’d need all that hauling power for though

>>513305640
Why not? It’s hellacious and overbuilt.

>>513303931
I know a guy that has a Honda that made it to a million

>>513305940
I've only ever seen a 300D Turbodiesel make it.

>>513302147 (OP)
looks like the special bus that would pick OP up every morning

>>513303931
The Jewish capitalist society is about a consumer economy of ephemeral shit in order to extract as much value from the goy into the hands of the Jews

>>513305748
>I can teach a 16yo in one afternoon how to do the magical shift change.
No, you can't. The average American is a shit driver. Your tests are piss easy.

>>513305940
old Mercedes could also do it

>>513306312
Manual is piss easy, only mildly difficulty is if you are doing big trucks with no synchros

>>513304598
10/10

>>513305940
yeah true but how much if it was repaired and replaced? Ship of Theseus

>>513305748
I've seen with my own eyes an American just like you trying to use the clutch pedal with his right foot lol

Optimous Prime was african

This post... I wonder...

kek

>>513303926
You just posted the most common van type in north america.

>>513306312
Do you guys even drive?

>>513304598
Great post, I kek'd. Keep up the good work.

>>513305748
>I can teach a 16yo in one afternoon how to do the magical shift change.
No you can't. I learned on a "stick" and most Americans will do anything they can not to drive one.

>>513304598
Funny because true

>>513305411
I never understood how bragging about an outdated technology is supposed to be a flex. I mean, the automatic was invented in the 1920s.

>>513310542

>and most Americans will do anything they can not to drive one.
explains why my car didn't get jacked yet
>6spd manual gearbox

>>513304477
They obviously aren't seething, they are pointing out the obvious that truck miles are not equatable to what you would expect on a personal passenger vehicle. 200k would be considered "low mileage" for a commercial truck, something akin to 10-15k for a car. being smug and incorrect is very jeet-like behavior, so I will assume that is the case here.

>>513303766
Kek.

>>513303926
Nah we ended up with those unreliable piles of shit unfortunately. They are everywhere. We use to have cast iron blocks, on truck chassis for vans. They lasted forever, they were bullet proof and easily repaired. Since our car companies went full globohomo you got our muscle cars and we got....... these fucking awful pile of shit top heavy vans and micro machines.

>>513302147 (OP)
If you'd actually been to europe you'd realize it's easily 100x better in every regard and especially in regards to vehicles, ie. every vehicle is a diesel and or a manual. Y
Enjoy your quad cab automatic unreliable piece of mexican trash

>>513311814
Funny how a vehicle considered reliable in Europe is always considered unreliable in America, could it be that mexicans dont change the oil at the manufacturer specified intervals?

>>513312169
All I can think of is A. our difference of fuels, here in the states it's all petrol, you guys seem to use diesel more often.
also B. Can't help but wonder if our emissions standards are more retarded than yours. In my failed state of california we water our gas down with corn water which destroys motors (mostly seals and gaskets), and we will often force manufacturers to put an unnecessary second catalytic converter that forces the vehicle to get even worse gas mileage than it already did from the factory.
But yea from Ford, to Metris, to Dodge to Mercedes, the euro style vans are basically tall cars. Their engines work ten times harder to get up to the speed limit and never seem to reach the high mileage of our older style van.
