Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    The truck still doesn’t need to be that big. Trucks have gotten absolutely massive with no appreciable difference in bed size. Yes yes, of course, bigger truck = more towing and load capacity, but honestly there’s got to be a reasonable limit where something becomes a commercial vehicle, and the limit needs to be much lower than the current standard.

      Bigger, longer trucks are also more stable for towing, which is particularly useful if you’re towing livestock. Animals moving in a stock trailer are much less stable than a trailer full of equally heavy equipment.

      But that’s honestly pretty niche. The average pickup driver doesn’t own horses.
