LMAO! Couldn't have said it better.

I'll be jumping into one of these in a couple of months.
2008 F-250 Superduty, Triton V-10 with a plow package. (mine will have a cap on the bed)

THats the Ford F650. Pretty bad ass truck. They make a Tonka version that I saw recently. It's pretty behemoth.



I believe they run around $80,000.

I live way out west, in California's central valley. My town of 50,000 is 20 minutes from Fresno which has a pop. of over 400,000. At least 1 in 3 homes has a truck parked out front. Fresno is about the same. Trucks are very popular in the central valley.

Last night, I was giggling about your post about your 15 cars or whatever, and my partner came and looked over my shoulder and read it and said, "Whoa. Is she from Bakersfield or something?"

Pretty close.

Apart from the one glide posted, every car that has made a visual appearance in this thread has been too big, too ugly and too uneconomic. I wouldn't want to be seen in any of them, unless maybe I was freezing to death in some snowy desert in Texas and Jessica Alba or so happened to drive by in one of them...

It's only uneconomic if you don't live in the city. In America, a lot of people still have farms, or live in small towns where the roads arn't paved and the ones that are are full of holes. If you live miles from the nearest city, the tiny little remote control cars people drive in Europe just wont cut it.

Complaints about the size? Here's a small truck for you.



There are other small trucks out there, and that one is about the size of a car, though a little longer due to the bed.

That's another one I could live with.

That is a not a truck, that's a Ute. There is a difference.

That's a truck, a small one at that.

No, it's a Ute.

This is a truck:

only white trash americans drive pick ups. at least thats been my experience.

You, sir, are a real piece of work. What you just said is like me saying that British people all have bad teeth (to the best of my knowledge, this is an entertainment-industry exaggeration).

To all you who think that trucks all have to be massive, this too is untrue: Datsun/Nissan ring any bells? For the average american who needs to haul anything from lumber for his/her home to a great many bags of concrete for a shop floor, a truck is very economic. For off-roading (a phemomena probably unknown in Europe) a larger 4x4 like my friend's Dodge '77 Power Wagon or an older Jeep (not a Wrangler nor a Cherokee, think Willies) is the recommended vehicle; Hummers are a joke as are all SUVs (including your precious Land Rovers).

the typical 4wd

GAH!

Closer to a semi-truck if anything, but a regular truck has a bed, and sometimes a hood for the bed. Also, the term "Ute" seems to only be a Aussie slang term, nothing more.

I've used it on crossword puzzles. I believe the key difference is that it is a "pickup" truck.

EDIT: Wikipedia says they're the same thing, so unless you've got a hard-on for semantics (in which case, noone probably gives a shit) let it drop.

The one I posted, yes, it is a smaller pick-up then average.

Yeah, I wasn't talking about the picture. Just the word.

Exactly!

only a few people in europe drive pick-up trucks, we drive land rovers or range rovers with are much more sexier and better, the land rover looks a bit like a army jeep, but we have a thing called 'transport'

you lot are fucking up the world just get a normal car, and complain to ur states to get transport and stop fucking up the world, ur creating ur own problems.

You think thats small?

good luck if you think you could drive that on many English country roads.

and i know not all americans are like that but there is just too many people that drive them vehicles
