I understand not liking unnecessary large trucks with giant wheels that have never seen dirt in their lives. The same guys that like to rev their engine anytime they leave. But this just looks like a standard work truck. Maybe the back is full of tools? Maybe he's going camping. Camping is dope.
This isn't standard. Nothing about that vehicle is standard.
If it's for lugging tools, get a van. They're safer and better for the job.

These trucks make no sense, other than financially to car companies.
Vans... Have like 100mm clearance. All work vehicles suck gass, but a single truck doesn't scream "fuckcars" to me. The right tool for the job and such.
Whereas the hottest month in human history definitely screams "fuckcars" to me.
Only Americans ever think these are the right tool for the job. If you guys want to keep your trucks that kill people at an incredibly outsized rate, fire away. But they are a plague that most Europeans rightly want to keep out.
