Are we on the verge of stretch limousine trucks which are just SUV stretch limos but with a pathetic-looking, tiny-ass vestigial bed at the rear?

[-] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago

It's like Gilette "Engineers" adding another blade.

I have been so disappointed that the razor blade curve has turned out to not be true.

[-] Damage@feddit.it 2 points 1 month ago

By that curve we should be in 5-blade times, which is correct...

[-] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Look at the bowing the middle. Can’t be good for the frame.

That's just Kid Rock's tour bus.

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

That is the perfect term for all these "trucks" with short-ass beds.

Vestigial bed, lmao

[-] GBU_28@lemm.ee 19 points 1 month ago

This has to be a crew hauling gooseneck ready truck, for some sort of industrial crew work...

OP did it have a gooseneck hitch?

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 19 points 1 month ago

Not my picture, but no this something you see around my parts. Its normally sold to Hutterite colonies (they used to use vans) and the back generally just holds goods they buy or sell.

Christ, and here all I want is a small cargo van and Ford decides to discontinue selling the Transit Connect here, while in Europe they are starting to sell an electric version of the same thing.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 1 month ago

Yeah, can't have small trucks anymore ether. But this thing is available?

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Right!?!?! Check out the Hilux Champ they are selling in Thailand. I would kill for an electric version of that for daily driving in the city and whatever DIY/hardware store needs I may have. I don't need to hall heavy things just awkward and large things.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

See that was one thing I was hoping for with electric, Odd small trucks making a come back. But nope, just Ferd F-teenthousand all the way down now.

[-] this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Twin Axel small displacement turbo diesel..... Omg.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

That's not a truck; that's a limousine with truckly aspirations.

Texan here. I have seen a lot of trucks.

is that real?…

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

Yes, this is Alberta. Guess everything is bigger here....

[-] IllNess@infosec.pub 6 points 1 month ago

I feel like I lost and won at the same time.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Could you imagine driving this thing in a city?

[-] thallamabond@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Yep. But it does not look factory.

It wouldn’t be American if you weren‘t able to take your tank to grocery shopping on your flatbed. Freedom baby

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

This is in fact not American.

[-] Pulptastic@midwest.social 11 points 1 month ago

Hey we have one of these in my old town too.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

I'm looking for a car-truck-van-suv-limo-4x4.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 14 points 1 month ago

All of a sudden the Homer seems like a rational automobile

Don't you touch my truck-boat-truck

Fuck me. And he has plans to ruin the prop...

Next up, the CyberSub…. Who is ready to risk drowning in one?

A van could transport the people, but what about his emotional support refrigerators? They won't fit in a van.

[-] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 9 points 1 month ago

limousine wannabe?

[-] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

If I ever get a terminal illness I am going to spend the rest of my days slashing the tires of every overside truck I see.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Easier to clip the valve stems.

[-] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Eh good chance they will not notice and these things are over $100k so likely the monetary aspect will be shrugged off.

[-] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 6 points 1 month ago

You underestimate the rate of deficit spending some men in the country engage in for their gender affirming vehicles...

Valve cover off, small rock in valve cover, valve cover back on.

Extended, extrnded, extended cab...

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 1 month ago

There is a company in the city I live that has stretch limo F150's and Hummers you can rent out for shit. Imagine what you're seeing in this image but 2 to 3 times longer.

[-] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 2 points 1 month ago

That genuinely looks like an early ai generation of a truck, is that where they got this idea?
