Sad thing is it looks like he has spacers on his wheels so he is as wide as a dually with no marker lights. Lifted so even less visibility and prolly a douche.
This is coming from a guy who owns a f350 dually who uses it for work / hauling stuff for the farm. Not for getting groceries or cruising the strip.
Really should be a law proving you need the truck for something other than a commute but then again. ‘Merica!
What I don't get is how people can afford driving any truck for personal use.
I mean I'd like a truck for hauling stuff around the house, like feed, firewood, and the odd building materials. But I can't afford a car just for that, so I would need to use it for daily driving as well. I did a cursory search for used f150s and the cheapest I've found is a 2015 king ranch gas powered two seater, which, besides the ridiculous price tag of 56k USD, is guzzling gas at an astonishing rate. Just the gas for my commute alone would be about 700USD monthly.
I know my numbers are a little high, these are Danish figures, but I still see dodge rams and f250s on the road. How the fuck are people affording that? Are they just going deeper and deeper into debt to peacock? That hardly seem sustainable.
Edit: somehow I claimed that I could afford a separate car for truck stuff, and then proceeded to explain why that wasn't the case. Fixed that.
It’s crazy to think I bought my 2012 f350 loaded in 2014 for 38k
