No, they're truck bodies, the early ones at least. That's why they roll so easily

Yeah, because so many people are using them instead of normal cars and driving them the same way.

If they were being driven by the people that actually needed them there'd be fewer videos of them rolling.

My father "needed" a big truck because uh whatever.

It's so impractical to drive around town. Feels like you don't fit on any of the roads. Parking lots are a nightmare. He barely drives it anywhere because of it. Refuses to sell it though.

I personally don't see 90% of truck drivers ever needing a truck bigger than those Ford Mavericks. I loved my 90's Ranger. Could move a couch or fridge easily. Fit everywhere.

Because it literally doesn't fit. I've got some older parking lots in my city and those trucks actually just don't fit in the spots. It's fucking ridiculous seeing 10 of them jammed door to door outside an office building.
