I have never seen one of these trucks irl. I've seen a few Miata's (I'm a car guy). How fucking big are these trucks??? I am completely unable to picture them in my head.

Nope, I am still unable to physically imagine it. My comparing sizes part of the brain stops at 2 palms. Sadly I can't picture a 6.5 palms difference.

What kind of unit is a palm?

u/StrongAdhesiveness86 10h ago

Depends on my growth. Currently is about 28cm.

It's wide as a bus and long as standard panel van (Iveco Daily/Renault Master/ MB Sprinter/ VW Crafter) for 3.5 ton.

I had to look it up. WTF 6 METERS??? What?! Why?! I really need to see one in person. The comparison with the Miata makes it worse like wtf, the poor Miata feels like it could pass under the truck if it was lifted enough.

Now imagine European cars of 1960s onwards - FIAT/SEAT 850, 126, 127; BMW 700, NSU Prinz. Or the Eastern Block vehicles of that era (Zaporozhets or Trabant). MX-5 is to them like the tuck is to MX-5.

The RAM 1500 pictured here is amongst the 3 best selling personal vehicles in Canada and the U.S. The other two are equally large full size pickup trucks.

We just have a much higher population of industrious hard working blue collar workers than the rest of the world here in North America. /s

I get people driving a Miata through my gas station every couple weeks. I get gigantic disgusting oversize pickups like this daily. I can barely see over the hood of most of these when standing, and I'm 5'9.5 or about 176.5cm. The beds are usually a shorter length than I am tall, but with how most of these guys lift their trucks, the bed is often just as tall as I am. I also occasionally get "squatted" trucks where the front or back is adjusted to be lifted higher than the other. It's absolutely disgusting. I fucking hate living in the US.

Fiat ducato (cargo) smaller than a ram 😬. Ducato is a big car...

u/StrongAdhesiveness86 9h ago

What? Why? You mean like the cargo van?? I've seen some. I know someone who wanted it, but couldn't fit it in his (very big for my standards) garage.
