    Lil, I was just wondering today if something like this existed. A truck with the small two-seat cab and a bed that matches today’s truck aspect ratios.

      Same and I have no interest in a truck. It just looks so functional and useful.

        That’s got to be like a 3 foot bed? I just don’t get how that’s useful vs a hatchback with the seats down?

          Completely open top, much less restriction on what you can put in. Hatchbacks can’t do that. It’s just a large trunk. Presumably can also sustain heavier loads.

            I’m now imagining a bundle of 2x4s vertically sticking up 6 feet.

            I think I’ve only once or twice had something not fit the hatchback because the roof was too low. And those items wouldn’t have fit in a 3-4 foot bed either. Plus a proper hatchback should have roof racks to put oversize cargo on anyway.

            I’m not arguing a 5+ foot bed isn’t better than a hatch (my 97 Taco with 6 foot bed comes in handy sometimes), but the shorty beds make me laugh.

          Hatchbacks fucking suck compared to a similar sized truck for transport.

    Truck equivalents of the Airbus A318 babybus aren’t real, they can’t hurt you

    This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.

      I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago…

        I mean this is basically the chode of vehicles. It’s the accurate representation of what those lifted hibeam smokestack truck owners are actually like lol

        Edit: Those mfers are Tonka tough. Still going through life with the mind of a toddler.

          Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that’s fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here

            Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.

            Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.

            I bet I’ve towed more with my 20-year-old “toy truck” than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.

            I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don’t spew out the crap he does.

            Asshat.

            Okay, yeah you have me converted. I’m definitely not a vehicle elitist and am all for purpose lol my initial reaction was how to like it is from the post and how those types of people continually infantile themselves to their own detriment.
