What is even the point of these, from what i seen the truck bed does not seem that much bigger if at all then a normal pickup truck?
The beds of pickup trucks are largely vestigial, they’re designed as crew plus trailer haulers. A truck like that will be advertised pulling a yacht on a trailer over the Rockies. It’s got enough bed to put a gooseneck hitch in. A van or SUV will keep up with a pickup with a Class IV hitch, but a pickup truck is a miniature tractor trailer now.
Using the bed as a bulk cargo box is actually pretty rare these days.
What’s worse is that lack of visibility kills and the engine bay is mostly empty space (see the outro in the video).
It’s a 5 seat sedan with a bed they don’t use. the point is they want to look mean
Cosplaying as a “real worker”.
So you can buy a mini van/suv, BUT say you have a truck! Because beer beer, truck truck, girls in tight jeans
Big diesel crew cab rigs are for towing trailers while hauling a crew. Think land scaping, construction etc.not too useful for the average joe using it as a Honda civic but for the right business they are exactly what you need.
I’d personally hate to use one of these for any of those jobs, I’d need a ladder to get the fucking ladder out of the bed. Ignore me, I’m just getting old and confused as to why the truck keeps getting bigger, but the bed keeps getting smaller. Even a shitbox from 1995 has a full 8 foot bed but for some damn reason, now they are almost impossible to find.
I like that GM brought back the Avalanche’s midgate for their electric Silverado, but I wish that was available on more trucks. Default configuration is a short-bed family hauler, but you drop the midgate and it becomes a 2-seater with an 8’ bed.
Best truck I ever worked out of was a long box regular cab s10 lol. Drop the tail gate down and u only have to lift crap somewhere between your knees and hips to load it, these big short bed trucks I have to hoist stuff up about chest high to load it then I’m out of room in no time because the beds like 4 feet long LOL. Usually those big trucks are for towing stuff and putting a couple pack outs in the trunk (bed would be too generous). Quite frankly if u don’t need a goose neck a 2500 van is probably the ticket, can tow about the same as a 2500 truck but u have a useful covered cargo area that’s easy to load and more secure.
Even then, most companies would be better off running 2 trucks and sets of equipment rather than 1 big truck hauling everyone and everything. It would cost a bit more than one big truck but significantly improve operational flexibility.
It would be more than a “bit” more. There would be the purchase price of 2 trucks, license fees for plates, commercial insurance for 2 trucks, 2 trailers, and maintenance for 2 trucks and trailers. And it would be silly for just one crew of 3 or 4 people, which most small contractors are. So unless you have a real need to own multiples and have multiple crews all working at the same time, doubling your equipment always costs more.
But for 2-man crews, there is no reason for a crew cab, and you don’t see them as a rule.
Yes, but a genuine light, single cab truck is significantly cheaper than the crew cab super duty, especially once you account for fuel economy and maintenance. Its like spending more up front for a more effecient appliance. You end up saving in the long run despite more cost up front.
You also have better operational flexibility. One truck could take off with 2 crew members to another jobsite once the bulk of the work or certain equipment is finished at the first job site. You could also position the trucks and equipment at different locations on a large multi acre property.
Under most circumstances, 2 light trucks makes more sense than 1 super duty.
It’s more likely that a company will get a van or cube/box truck (think U-haul), that has all the equipment and stuff, and the rest of the workers just take their own transportation to the job site. Virtually any time I’ve seen a company-owned pickup that wasn’t kitted out for a task, it was for the boss.
Thats common if its something they don’t do often or are using equipment they rented. Landscapers, independent home builders, and other certain trades often have their own equipment and trucks/trailers to haul it.
The bed is like the truck balls, it’s only there for manly affirmation, but really serves no practical purpose.
In the south, trucks like that are practically a status symbol. Lift kit, knotted tires (bald within a year because they only drive it on paved roads), expensive ass brush guard with a winch that’s never been used, spray in bedliner with big diamond plate bed box, pristine multi-trailer hitch, Yeti/Browning/fjb/FAFO/tbl/wE tHe PeOpLe decal on the window along with whatever big football college they never went to…
The most they’ve ever hauled in it is groceries, and the dirtiest it ever gets is when it rains. If any mud get on it for any reason they leave it on for as long as possible
I agree in 90 percent of cases but I have one with a fucked up bed and it’s only six months old. I use it every other day to do deliveries.

They store the vehicle’s pee and warn the other drivers?
Do…you think balls store pee?
Its a meme reply
Searching for “balls store pee meme” leads to a bunch of serious talk about this. Hopefully I don’t remember any of it.
Heh
Here’s a vid.
normally youd get more torque because its a bigger engine but this dudes truck in the city so theres actually no point but the point is so you can pull stuff out of mud or tow your tractor or somthin on your farm
