    Do you have any idea how big American farms are? You can go miles and be on the same farm. That’s why American farmers have their own equipment for that.

    Why do you think vans are any better? A lot of them are made on exactly the same platforms as the trucks you’re deriding, and have similar gas mileage. A Ford E350 is basically an F350.

    What do you think those “specialty operators” would use?

    You have no idea what you’re talking about.

      God, you’re so deep up your own ass that you think the world = the US. Quite typical, didn’t know what I was expecting.

      I have nothing against farmers doing whatever they wish within their own territory, with whatever vehicles they wish.

      If I see a “truck” like that outside of this very niche scenario, I immediately think “macho moron” or “US tourist”. Usually both.

        Same right back. If American farms are bigger, they just might have a few differences in how they operate.

          You’ve successfully moved the goalposts from:
          “People need these cars!! They’re not tiny penis enlargers!”

          To: “People in US, no, Farmers in US, no, Farmers in US that own incredibly large farms need these cars!! How are they going haul two tractors at once within their own farm!”

          Yeah, they’re very useful indeed…
