    Pretty arrogant to claim people that own them don’t need them. I know welders that do on site welding and have heavy welding equipment mounted in the back.

    You also wouldn’t want to have a civic flying down a steep hill behind you towing a 6,000lb travel trailer.

    Edit:

    Today I learned a bunch of people like to drive slow behind a rolling death trap that is a civic with a 6K lb trailer. Cool.

      I think we’re not talking company trucks (which should park in a depot anyway).

      It’s about personal garage-queen road-manatees. Because of course it is.

      Just abolish and amnesty the Dodge ram. Given the inordinate DUI numbers, roads would just be safer.

        Yes this is different. But still, how do you go RVing. You can’t, legally, without something that has the braking and towing capacities.

          Glamping.

          Or maybe just give up the “I want to travel and I want to take a single-wide with me” dementation.

            Sure as soon as housing becomes affordable. I hate having a large truck but it is the right tool for the right job and we live full time in an RV.

          I towed an a-frame tent trailer around the South Western US and Western Canada for like 2 months straight with a 2.5L Subaru Outback. People used to go camping with just a fucking station wagon. Could it tow a giant 25 footer trailer? No, would I want one? No, what’s the point of literally towing a full sized house to “Get away”.

      9 out of 10 non-company pickups on the road are hauling huge dicks with tiny penises.
