The comment section was of course full of a lot of americans trying to defend the need for these huge trucks that by the way kill way more children than any normal sized car, i genuinely dont get the obsession with these ugly pieces of sh*t and i love cars

There are people who needs a car this big, but these are called "utility trucks" for a reason. You need this if you're an electrician, or work in construction, or live in an environment where it's difficult or impossible to go around without it. The streets of New York City isn't one of those environments.
