The communist Justin Trudeau wants to tax carbon 😡
But I need this vehicle to buy groceries 😡😡
AX THE TAX 😡😡😡
there should be a law that if a car goes past a certain size it’s officially a public transit and people can barge in and expect you to drop them off along your ride.
I’ve been saying Canada is just Diet US. Credit where it’s due, they elected the lesser dumbass. Also, healthcare. Good on y’all. Obviously Canada is better than the US but my fellow Americans act like it’s the promised land or something. The cost of living is still to damn high, and they still have the same right-wing populist idiots we have. Also, I get our bills and coins suck. Dead old white man and all but how is the fucking royals supposed to be better? I think fascist monarchs are way worse. To any Canadians offended by this, please don’t be. It was not my intent to offend you and I very much realize I am throwing stones from a glass house here. Love you guys!
I was diagnosed with cancer last year. I am now cured. Cost to me, $0.
my fellow Americans act like it’s the promised land or something.
So do lemmy Canadians.
I’ve been saying this. Honestly, if the US ever goes full 1930s-Germany they’re going to be our Poland. I wouldn’t even want to move there if I have to leave, at least not long-term.
Austria, more like.
i just like how silly and absurd this truck looks
its like a satirical cartoon truck meant to poke fun of enormous trucks, except its real and unironic.
It’s got nothing on an F650 super truck. I’ve driven past one on I35 outside of San Antonio, TX.
For a size reference, here’s Doug DeMuro, 6’3” (1.9m):
this legit looks like a semi, but for people with tiny genitals
It’s a class 6 medium duty work truck converted to a passenger truck.
Trucks actually started selling more when the first started mimicing the looks of semis. I think dodge was one of the first to adopt that mindset which was basically everything on the front end gets bigger.
the tiny dicked people are all around us then!
How many bananas tall is Doug?
Is it custom or actually sold?
If I remember correctly, it is custom built from a base f650 (front end and frame) and they put an f350 bed on it as part of the passenger truck conversion
my friend from ontario says:
“This might be for folks who work on oil rigs (Edmonton is close to several), a vehicle like this means they can travel as a full crew. It’s still terrible but that might explain it.”
They could get a crew van, fit more in it, and still fit in a standard parking spot.
Probably also quite a few thousands of dollars cheaper.
I thought the same, but there may be a very specific combination of conditions where this could make sense: bad roads where ground clearance is needed, no sharp curves that require shorter wheel base, need to take 8 people and need to take their tools/materials. but probably they did just because they could
Please.
I’m from Alberta. This is just big dick energy.
Besides, there are 4x4 crew vans with lift kits that the oil sands mines use to address the issues you’re talking about. Those are most certainly cheaper than this monstrosity, and if it was a work thing he’d have to have company decals on it.
Honestly, those conditions sound like pretty much exactly what I’d expect working oil in Alberta, and given the cost to make that horrific of a modification, it wouldn’t suprise me if it was something used for work.
It also would not suprise me if it was some jerk with more money than sense, esspecially as this wouldn’t necessarily conflate with the first.
given the cost to make that horrific of a modification, it wouldn’t suprise me if it was something used for work.
Yeah this seems way too expensive to not have a specific use. I would assume this vehicle needs to transport 6+ people and also a bunch of stuff. There are plenty of vanity trucks you can buy without customizing a third seating row, that’s easily a 6-figure job.
Most likwly you could just buy two trucks for the same cost.
No ground clearance on van, gona get stuck in the mud. less payload on van, can’t just drop a skid of what ever or extra long things like hydraulic cylinders into a van with out akward fucking around. less tow capacity on van, notice the tow bar on the back… What are you gona put a welder, diesel cans, gas cans, pales of hydraulic oil for equipment/ slip tanks, pumps and what not into the van too with the occupants? What about the greasy and oily ass clothes. Throw em in the van too? So they stain and fill the cab with VOCs?
This is a purpose built one off, and alot of you are out of touch with how work gets done. Not evey job is hauling standard 8x4 drywall. Alot more trades work than just slinging plaster around.
This is totally a male enhancement device due to the lift and frame length. It’s weak in the frame and real regular off-road use will crack it.
It’s a fucking joke just like the joke that drives it. “Look at me! I’m such a tough manly manchild. My beard is huge and I listen to country music even though I’ve never owned a cow and live in the suburbs.”
Real working 4x4/dually trucks tend to be factory height (little higher than factory rear wheel) as you don’t want to lift heavy shit higher than you have to. They’re also beat to hell because they do real work.
I guess you also didn’t notice the tow bar in the back. Huh. Trucks tend to sit high. So when you load them the truck levels out. Instead of squatting down in the rear. Also I don’t know if this truck is a legit tow truck but if it is, say you had a family of 5 or 6 are on a road trip in your grand caravan. Get into an accident with a dumb shit wild deer/fucking phesant/ windigo w/e or brake down cause budy guy at the last gas station was dumping a bit to much home brew corn gas in the tanks. A regular tow truck fits only 4 people. Plus driver. So now you got to wait for another veichle. Out there shits so remote that could be 30 min or 2hrs depending on the stretch of road. Now you got this pigfugly monster. Your Pacifica/oddesy/Siena is on the hook. You and your family are all in the warm cab and no one is freezing. Because it’s January. Yeah I forgot to mention it January in Alberta -30ºC
Most male enahncement devices have towing crap on them so they can tow a boat or a camper once or twice a year. It also makes the manchild feel like a big boy.
Lifted and that long means it absolutely isn’t a real truck. It’s a stupid toy.
Again, real trucks are also beat up as they’re tools, not toys.
I grew up working on a farm, I’ve been around industrial trucking my whole life since then. This isn’t a truck, it’s a toy owned by a boy with a masculinity inferiority complex.
Bud, how can you not tell that that is not a ball hitch or pintle hitch? It’s tow stinger, Mr. Farm. Also, the attitude of beat-up trucks is long gone. Turns out you can get more customers and sales when you don’t show up looking like Harry and Marv.
If you think spending tons of money on equipment that looks pretty and makes the job harder because you have to baby it is a good marketing tactic, you’re never going to survive as a business owner.
This one of my trucks, it’s a 98 chevy 3500.
I’d post another pic of my 98 ranger with mud, carry rack and towing hitch as well as my play farm but Lemmy isn’t taking it right now and i have shit to do.
That asshole isn’t driving a real truck otherwise he wouldn’t be taking up four spaces like that in the middle of the parking lot. He’d be parked in tne back row like not an asshole.
The frame is too long to be a real truck. He spent over $100k to have people that actually work for a living to build it for him.
You seriously going to tell me this thing was “purpose-built” for anything more than luxury for the occupants? There are vastly more efficient ways to accomplish anything this thing can do, the only difference is that there’s a tiny bit less legroom. Literally every single one of those things can be accomplished with a modified/lifted van and maybe a trailer.
he doesn’t disagree, he notes it’s still bad but that might explain what we’re seeing here, kind of.
I can guarantee each employee drives one of these (or similar) and do not carpool to work or from office to site.
you might be on to something!
Oh? And that also means they have to take up 4 parking spots…?
i mean yeah, probably? lol
don’t get it twisted, I’m not defending this monstrosity
all aboard the petrolsine!
Your friend makes love to cars. Here, they fuck them.
I mean he drives because you don’t have a lot of choice out there, but he’s also agrees with the “fuck cars” of it all.
Same here.
Ah yes the Ford F9000 Pedestrian Pulverizer
Does canada have really lax limo safety laws? i recall hearing about stretch SUVs in the US that killed like entire friend groups during prom in the US because there’s absolutely no regulation of these things in some places.

~ This guy, probablyToo much truck, not enough dick, as they say.
Slide under the midpoint with a battery powered angle grinder or a sawzall and cut 3/4 of the way through one side of the frame. Then you just let physics do the rest when they hit a good hard bump.
Xanthan gum and muriatic acid will make a nice corrosive paste that might do the trick if you’re into edging with your sabotage.
Sawing that thing without being caught is hard. So, about that xanthan and muriatic paste, what kind of gloves should I use for protection?
Nitrile gloves, thicker the better. It will break them down but it will take a while. The fumes are chlorine gas, but aren’t that bad if you’re outside. What you really have to watch out for is getting it in your eyes, wear goggles.
Baking soda will neutralize it, so you might want a gallon of water and some baking soda on hand. It will burn your skin if you leave it on you, but it takes a minute and you have time to just wash it off.
Paint brush would be a good way to apply it.
Stanz: It was all fine until dickless parked his truck. Mayor: Is that true? Venkman: Yes, this man has no dick.
Even if you somehow need a vehicle this size, you can park it in a way that it only takes up two spaces, not four.
They where not even trying, with that thing you could go for the 8 spaces.
I didn’t know they made buses with a cargo bed.
It goes up to 11.
No shot that’s a real/unmodified model… right?
No these are modified. Last time I saw a vehicle like that it was a Mormon family out camping with their 17 kids
Edit: honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car.
Same with this picture — if somebody felt the need to pay $$$$$ for extending the truck, they’re probably actually using that space for something productive and not just driving it around empty. I’m way more mad about the incredible waste of every suburban individual having their own heavy duty cargo hauler for daily chores that don’t need it, then I am about modified special-purpose vehicles doing a job.
[…] honestly if you’ve got a giant family and you’re basically a half a busload of people everyplace you go, that’s pretty much the ideal best use case for a private car. […]
Wouldn’t some kind of van be more practical? Perhaps they wanted both a van and a pickup truck, but they didn’t want/couldn’t afford 2 separate cars, so they just melded the two together?
No car manufacturer mass produces a chassis like that. That’s an unholy marriage of a suburban and an F250 super duty.
At first I thought this was here because of how stupid and obscene this truck is. This just SCREAMS “my penis is 1 inch, and I’m insecure”. It gets a whole 30 feet to the gallon!
Then I noticed the park job. This is the type of park job I’d intentionally smash with the shopping cart, on my way to return my cart to those little cart return cages.
This guy is an asshole. Plain and simple. Yes, fuck the truck too, because it shouldn’t even exist, but aldo fuck this guy in particular. I hope a meteor falls from the sky, crushes the back half of his truck into a pancake, and otherwise doesn’t cause any injuries or harm.
