Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better. Every time. No exception. SUVs and crossovers are just worse minivans for people who think they're too cool to drive a minivan.
And those outside of North America largely need not apply. I wish we could just have a robust public transit system here, but apparently, public transit is antithetical to muh freedum or something. Or so they tell me.
And that's not even getting into the point the post makes, which is that these monstrosities are getting bigger and more dangerous to pedestrians, yet our governments do nothing to stop it.
You can rent a fucking truck if you need something long or tall. The only people who need trucks are people who are doing that kinda stuff on the regular. I just got to the hospital and this huge truck pulls up to the handicapped area and two elderly people got out, very carefully since they needed to climb down. They do NOT need a truck.
edit: Sorry, I thought this was /c/fuckcars
So getting something that takes 20 minutes is now an all day ordeal? Do you think people just have limitless free time?
The rest of the time you're using your truck for menial tasks you're spending much more money on vehicle maintenance, not to mention the overall cost of a truck over a commuter vehicle. And people aren't make of limitless money, they're just going into debt to get these bigger vehicles.
Spend a little time to save a lot of money.
My time is worth $50 an hour, yeah no hahaha. People have different circumstances. I would make more by having g the truck sit most of the time then to waste a whole day doing a 30 minute task.
Think higher of your own worth and time.
