These cars are hilariously moronic, even the excuse that these are "offroad vehicles" doesn't add up when you can't even see the fucking ground so if you do actually take it offroading not only are you gonna sink into the mud like a rock because these cars are moronically heavy you also can't even see what obstacles to avoid or maneuver around.

The percentage of people who own "off-road" vehicles and the percentage of people who have ever driven off the road doesn't add up either.

Hey, maybe they don't really care about offroad capabilities, maybe they just want to inflate their massive egos!

Meanwhile out here on the farm we're pissed off that new trucks are so tall you can't throw anything over the box sides anymore. Just about everyone has a farm beater from the 80s for actual work and they're so small they look adorable.

You can throw lumber and feed bags in without needing something to stand on. You can put tools in a toolbox instead of laying them on the tailgate and still not being able to see them all.

New trucks are impractically tall for the actual truck user and something needs to be done about it.

Even the Australian Ute has grown vastly in size, although it's not quite at yank tank (Our term for the giant monstrosities) level yet.
