Are we on the verge of stretch limousine trucks which are just SUV stretch limos but with a pathetic-looking, tiny-ass vestigial bed at the rear?

[-] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

It's like Gilette "Engineers" adding another blade.

[-] teft@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

Look at the bowing the middle. Can’t be good for the frame.

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago

nah he's reinforced it with that girder there, it'll be fine. it'll be fine...

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

That's just Kid Rock's tour bus.

[-] Zorsith 6 points 10 months ago

That is the perfect term for all these "trucks" with short-ass beds.

Vestigial bed, lmao

Texan here. I have seen a lot of trucks.

is that real?…

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 10 points 10 months ago

Yes, this is Alberta. Guess everything is bigger here....

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 6 points 10 months ago

I feel like I lost and won at the same time.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

Could you imagine driving this thing in a city?

[-] thallamabond@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

Yep. But it does not look factory.

Christ, and here all I want is a small cargo van and Ford decides to discontinue selling the Transit Connect here, while in Europe they are starting to sell an electric version of the same thing.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 points 10 months ago

Yeah, can't have small trucks anymore ether. But this thing is available?

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Right!?!?! Check out the Hilux Champ they are selling in Thailand. I would kill for an electric version of that for daily driving in the city and whatever DIY/hardware store needs I may have. I don't need to hall heavy things just awkward and large things.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 10 months ago

See that was one thing I was hoping for with electric, Odd small trucks making a come back. But nope, just Ferd F-teenthousand all the way down now.

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Twin Axel small displacement turbo diesel..... Omg.

[-] EherNicht@feddit.org 12 points 10 months ago

It wouldn’t be American if you weren‘t able to take your tank to grocery shopping on your flatbed. Freedom baby

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 11 points 10 months ago

This is in fact not American.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 10 points 10 months ago

Hey we have one of these in my old town too.

[-] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 10 months ago

A van could transport the people, but what about his emotional support refrigerators? They won't fit in a van.

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

If I ever get a terminal illness I am going to spend the rest of my days slashing the tires of every overside truck I see.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Easier to clip the valve stems.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Eh good chance they will not notice and these things are over $100k so likely the monetary aspect will be shrugged off.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 10 months ago

You underestimate the rate of deficit spending some men in the country engage in for their gender affirming vehicles...

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You say that till your having it towed for a flat tire at every corner...

All of a sudden the Homer seems like a rational automobile

Don't you touch my truck-boat-truck

[-] VonReposti@feddit.dk 8 points 10 months ago

Fuck me. And he has plans to ruin the prop...

Next up, the CyberSub…. Who is ready to risk drowning in one?

As long as Musk decides to explore the Titanic on its inaugural run...

The boat is mine. The boat is MINE!

[-] blazeknave@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Why is this bad and van is good?

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 5 points 10 months ago

Vans are more fuel efficient, smaller and lighter than trucks while generally performing most/all of the same duties just as well if not better

Space, cost, fuel use, visibility.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 10 months ago

That genuinely looks like an early ai generation of a truck, is that where they got this idea?

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 2 points 10 months ago

There is a company in the city I live that has stretch limo F150's and Hummers you can rent out for shit. Imagine what you're seeing in this image but 2 to 3 times longer.
