truck-lets for man-lets.
If that's your idea of masculinity, get out of the sand pit, grow a pair and do something constructive instead of waste tons of fuel, forgetting how to park and "owning" the road at everyone's risk.
You do realise these things roll easily and it's a shit of a job trying to cutting you out of a few tons of metal right? And the whole time we have to listen your screams and to the screams of the other poor bastard in a reasonable car you've taken off the road. Lose the wanker mobile, join a volunteer fire brigade and save some fucking lives. Much more manly.
(I get maybe 10% are legitimate need, and no problem with that, but if you aren't regularly caring cargo or towing machinery FTW.)
Ever dealt with a compact car hit by a ford ranger trucklet? Won't forget that quickly, and there's a good chance you'll see all the gruesome detail as we work on cutting you out while the Ambos do what they can keeping the other poor bastard alive, assuming it DIDN'T kill ya when it rolled. )
These things are high mass vehicles with a high centre of gravity and a road safety disaster especially when driven aggressively by manlets with a lot to prove. It's such a huge, bloody ugly, price for a bit of misplaced ego.
