Seems like I need to trade my truck in for an Abrams. Anyone know a good dealer?
This chart is confusing. Are these kids all different heights?!
same heights, the measures on the kids are their distances to the bumper
Ohhhh I get it. Thanks!
Also, now that I’m looking more… Those would be some giant 5 year old kids
To make matters worse; lots of the trucks listed that I see on the roads have aftermarket larger “off road” tires and lift kits, making them a good 12+ inches taller than stock.
And of course, I see them hauling stuff in the bed or on a trailer about 20% of the time at most. But gawd damnit, they’re exercising their rahhts!!
I think 20% is too generous.
20% in Emotional Support Vehicles? That’s a lot!
That probably has something to do with the fact that the M1 Abrams was not intended as an overpriced status object designed purely to make spoilt and privileged suburbanites make themselves feel superior to anyone walking in the street.
An M1 probably has better range and usability, storage etc.
No, they get hilariously bad mileage, like a couple hundred at Max.
Depending on what fuel it’s burning economy is somewhere between .6 -3.0 mpg.
So yes then
To be fair, giant trucks are also designed to be exempted from emissions standards
That is a crazy sentence.
It is, but under the CAFE standards, it ends up being true.

I want to say that these trucks do have legitimate use cases, however, if you look at the available features, and compare that against the use case for a truck like these, then you’ll probably be confused as to why many of the features are even available at all.
For shits and giggles, what about trains, planes, and cargo ships? Anyone bored enough to add those too?
This is…perfect.
GM’s next truck model?
Trains don’t usually interact with children on tracks.
Planes don’t usually interact with children in the sky.
Cargo ships don’t usually interact with children in the ocean, and when they do they’re at floating height not standing.
“A wave, in the ocean, a chance in a million!”
I appreciate this American 4wd cars in metric.
We have all those shit boxes in Canada too, maybe not the Abrams
I really don’t understand why they exist
To get around wise and well planned carbon limits on vehicles.
If they’re over a certain size they’re exempt
Besides being able to charge more for less (because large vehicles aren’t taxed), they also do it to own the libs.
They’re literally destroying the world to get even with imaginary boogie men
Far out. That is messed up.
Yup. Thank you Regan for dismantling government oversight. Thank you Bushes and Clintons for allowing Regulatory Capture for all government agencies, and thanks Trump for corrupting the Health and Justice systems.
A real perfect storm of the past few decades.
