    Or, more commonly known as little penis truck. Borrowed a vehicle from work because the Dodge is down again. Anyways, drove about 700 miles, mostly interstate.

    Chev 1500 gasser, about 5” lift kit. At least they took the ridiculous wide ghetto tires off and put “normal “ tires on it. It handles like crap, has crew cab and about 4-1/2 foot bed. I needed to load 12’ long material in it jester jester jester rotflol rotflol rotflol rotflol I think there is more cargo space in a station wagon.

    What is the purpose of these things??

    Agreed they are about worthless. Maybe haul some groceries if you have a cover on it.

    12′ long material? Sounds like you picked the wrong equipment for the job. Is this the equipment’s fault? I don’t use ice rods when I am fishing open water from my boat and then complain about the fishing rod that I am using. grin

    I guess you need it spelled out syllable by syllable.i stopped at a vendor along the way and I picked up a case of 14” cut off blades and 6 welding blankets. While I when I was there, one of my leads called and asked me to add thirty six steel studs that are 12’ which made me crack up laughing because that wasn’t happening.

    Sorry you lack in equipment. I have about 25-30 ice rods that multi-purpose for open water. Couple of my 42” crappie rods are incredible trout rods. But narrow minded people don’t think outside the box.

    So I still wonder what the purpose of these trucks are. I see so many lifted trucks that barely see a parking lot let alone off roads that require increased clearance. And the 4-1/2 foot bed is so limiting. I’m trying to see the uses and drawing a blank

    I’d say it’s to pick up the ladies, but I’ve never seen one with a female passenger. Maybe they are for picking up dudes?

    JEEEEZ… that was quite the snappy reply Randy, that must have gotten under your skin. You didn’t specify in your original post so I can see why net man said that! Why does your work have a truck like that anyways?

    As far as the gargantuan grocery getters, yeah way over the top. People who drive them definitely are compensating for at least something…

    About 90% of people use their truck as a daily driver and not to tow/haul.

    To each their own I say.

    A bit sensitive today? I thought that I was reading something written by a different member like walleysf or some thing.

    Lacking equipment? Now you are being a comedian.

    There surely is a purpose for crew cabs. The paved world was not designed for a crew cab with 8′ box. Maybe your are thinking too much outside of the box to answer your own question.

    And I thought that you were trying to be funny with your original post but your follow up looks like you are serious. My apologies.

    Majority of folks don’t need that capacity.

    Decent amount of folks like the security during winter a truck gives them and their family.

    And a small portion out of all that likes the flash. Small percentage, but multiplied to a large population gives us what it is.

    Any such truck not driving in states that see a snowy winter has a ding-a-ling equivalent to a cat.

    I don’t think he’s allowed to come out and play anymore.

    If it fits, it ships.

    I see plenty of s*** working side gigs with contractors and putting in some time at the local lumberyard.

    12’ stuff in a 5.5’ box is goofy, probably unsafe, and also fairly routine.
