    Those idiots also drove the price up for those of us who need them for what they’re meant for…work.

      These big yank tanks are nothing but penis extensions, they’re not used for work. People out bush all own Hilux or Navaras

        The jacked up ones, %100 agreed, but the large trucks designed for hauling are used exactly for that, hauling. I say this as a Toyota guy, I have a 1st gen tundra I use all time out here, but I’m not delusional and think it can do what the f350 we have can.

          A cab-over is much more practical 99% of the time. An Isuzu N-Series or Hino 300 has much higher GCM, more comfortable cabin and larger bed.

          They just aren’t fitted with V8-powered inadequacy compensators.

            Then what? You’re other vehicles? An n series or hino 300 is a baby lorri, not a truck.

            And while we are at it…those cabs are not more comfortable than our truck cabs, we have trucks just like them here and they’re fucking awful for long hauls.

      Weird how not a single contractor, farmer or labourer in any other countries need them huh? They’re not made for work.

      Drive up to a building site in one of those and be prepared for someone to spray a massive cock n balls on it with expanding foam
