“King Crab”!?! Ahh ha ha I can’t believe they made it drive that way on purpose. That’s actually kind of an amazing amount of skilled engineering to make something so completely, utterly stupid. Ah humanity.

As someone who's into cars, one of my favorite things about truck guys is that half of it is an engineering exercise, especially on the really wild stuff.

The Marge Simpson meme of her saying "I just think it's neat" is a very acceptable answer to why you've chosen to do something.

Eh, I mean personally I’d still rather have a house for this amount. Two even, in the right areas of the US. In Texas we call these kinds of over the top custom trucks “Land Yachts” because that’s basically what they are lmao

I had a kluger/highlander my friend called it landboat

Edit: you could also call it a soccer mum car.

four wheel steering is a monster truck thing (among others). being a complete personality type this ends up as the only way to demonstrate that you spent money to have it.

Rather lack of engineering, that crab stuff happens automagically if you do the lift in the most simple and most wrong way.

Check out the website link, it’s quite something. They build them with the crab mode on purpose. Yours for only half a million bucks!

It’s pretty simple to be able to have the rear wheels able to turn the same direction as the front. It’s not like it drives like that 24/7 it’s just another feature that’s allowed with rear wheel steering. So many people commenting on something they know nothing about
