This SUV parking (lemmy.world)

Not enough space for a stroller, had to walk in the middle of the street to go around the SUV.

I mean, US infrastructure isn’t made for these beasts either.

I hate to say it, but that looks like a pretty small truck.

Source: I'm Texan but don't hold it against me.

Seems to be what those in most of the US would call a standard size pickup truck. Not “compact” like a Hilux/Tacoma, nor comically oversized like the oft-lifted 3/4 or full-ton trucks.

[-] Eavolution@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Hang on a sec a Hilux is considered a compact truck in America? That's a big old car where I'm from...

[-] Hyzerflip@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Yup, it would be considered a compact like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, ect

[-] schmidtster@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Looks like a Ram 1500, so not a small small truck like a Tacoma or ranger. It’s a decent sized truck, just got the short box 5’-8”.

[-] Jjcool27@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I still don't understand what the point of a short box is. You can fit a decent amount of materials in it but why not just go for a full size box. Go figure.

I’ve got one, I can still haul anything 12’ and under legally with with tailgate up/down and flagged. And it gives me enough room to haul my kids around in the backseat.

A full size bed can’t have a crew cab, and any combination over that won’t fit in a 20’ garage, so you would need a non-standard “deeper” garage.

They fit a niche, just like most things. It’s not meant for everyone.

Saw another post on here about how ridiculously oversized the Ranger parked next to them was. Had to laugh as an American, can't even imagine how some of the 3500 brodozers you see here would look on a European street

It is in Texas. I have a pretty small car, and when I lived in California, I was constantly barely able to fit in parking spaces. In Texas, the parking spaces are huge to fit the trucks. It's so nice.

Fit the trucks and the people.

Yes it is, to say it isn't is just a lie, even if only one due to being under informed. To put it like this, talking about big rigs, 18 wheelers, or whatever you would like to call them, here in the US you mainly see "long nose" (American) styles, although yes you do still see "flat nose" or "cab over" designs, they are the European style, as the roads in Europe tend to be smaller than here in American, mainly due to some of those roads being much older than the USA is.
