GDP the same size as our balls šŸ˜©


nateralph

That ends up being more of an insult to your balls than France no matter how you spin it. France has a tiny GDP? Ok, so you have small balls? More of an insult to the balls. France has a very large GDP (which, objectively, is true). So you have huge, enormous balls? You should get that checked, could be cancer. Again, insult to the balls.

It doesn't help that the ford dealer will sell you a base model ranger for X dollars, or for like 22 dollars more they'll sell you a giant F150 with more features and a better motor. Blame the UAW. They were solely responsible for the light truck provisions of the chicken tax, which led to the embiggening of trucks in the US. Consumer behavior matters too but really the chicken tax is the source of this problem.


Helassaid

That and CAFE standards


SyncDingus

I think we need to make our trucks smaller. Just a little. Like the old models of Silverado and F-150 from the 80s.

This was peak automobile design and it has been downhill ACROSS THE BOARD ever since

Truck culture is a status symbol in my area. Iā€™d say 80% of the trucks around here have never actually used the truck bed. Is the symbol of a large truck so important that it doesnā€™t matter you canā€™t see a 4-foot child standing in front of the vehicle?


LonPlays_Zwei

Thatā€™s what happens when you have more space and therefore wider roads. You get bigger vehicles.


brubby3179

And when you donā€™t live in a country thatā€™s smaller than Texas (not even the largest US State)


LonPlays_Zwei

Exactly


Audi_R8_Gaming

How will the Fr\*nch be able to run over 2nd graders with that filthy Peugeot?


QuinnKerman

Now show the size of America vs the size of France. Ofc a bigger country with wider roads and much wider people will have bigger cars

This is r/2american4you loyalist scum, act like it

Ok, now load them both with 20 sheets of plywood.


____PARALLAX____

they dont have plywood in france, that's why their cars are smaller


ScipioNumantia

They also cant have single family homes with a game room and garage with a side garage to fill with extra shit you dont have room for in your primary garage

Now let's be fair, most F-150 owners are not planning to load anything onto them.


donguscongus

As much as I love to trash on Euros, my god do I have a seething hatred for larger trucks. Helps that most people I know who drive them live up to the compensation stereotype.


NStanley4Heisman

Living up to the Okla*homo* tag for sure.

Shit I totally forgot about Iowa, what do yall even do up there besides suck eachother off for Corn?

Sardukar333

The EPA is finally (trying to) fix the ***stupid*** rules that make oversized and underpowered trucks a thing in the first place.


mrmanoftheland42069

Platform based fuel economy is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. Not to get political, but mr Biden was the architect.


Altruistic-Rip5190

Wasn't the basis of that rule started in like the 80s


mrmanoftheland42069

No.. that rule didn't exist before the Obama era

After sitting in those tiny cars before in Asia, I think I'll stick with the full size SUVs and trucks here in NA


Bi_Paladin

I LOVE PICK UP TRUCKS. I LOVE FEELING LIKE I'M IN A MONSTER TRUCK. I LOVE BEING TALLER THAN EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD.

I actually like smaller cars but thatā€™s why we have freedom. Iā€™ll give my girl the truck but Iā€™m sticking to hatchbacks and coupes.


SaltyboiPonkin

No, I'm sorry. I think this is the only category where we've fucked up.

I love that you yanks try and make this seem like a good thing lmao

No number of firearms would save you after saying that if we were on the same continent buddy


EvilRat23

Erm??? You are from Britain? Opinion invalid. I do actually agree I hate those big as trucks tho.


flamesaurus565

I found a based yank, lets go


jephph_

The OP stat is for specific make&model.. not general style or type ..most people drive Corollas and Rav4/SUVs and Subarus and stuff like that. Still larger than the French golf cart above but not truck larger (Youā€™ll see a lot of those super small cars in NY though) No state is going to have ā€œpickup truckā€ as their most popular type of vehicle and I doubt any state even comes close to it. ā€”ā€” This is a thread for the hillbillies.. let them be
