That looks fucking sick and it’s probably easier and safer to drive than a light duty truck because it’s some kind of mid/hd commercial chassis with the mirrors and sight lines for people whose literal job it is to not hit people or things.
Without the lift job that truck probably has better visibility than your brand-new F150 does. Nonetheless trucks like this one should need a CDL to operate at bare minimum. A truck this large doesn't belong on the road, even though it does get my Mad Max brain going.
On the other hand, it’s not getting up to speed anywhere as fast as the f150 because it ships with a Detroit diesel and a 69 speed transmission intended for accelerating the cargo of a freight locomotive to highway speeds.
I might be wrong on the transmission. The medium duty ones are apparently used as box truck chassis and shit.
Bring back slow big trucks.
