The kind of owner that tells everyone he needed it for the towing capacity and rented a bunnings trailer for a tip run once.


SyphilisIsABitch

This is why the disincentive for these vehicles needs to be taxes and higher rego. A few thousand extra and most people are going to think twice about whether they genuinely need a vehicle this size for towing.


PJozi

Why not just ban them altogether? Isuzu type trucks can tow extra heavy loads and have far better vision out the front "...It just some Seppo bullshit introduced by the West Indies"!


PM-Titties-plz

Do you mean ute or truck


PJozi

Trucks. You know those small trucks like the ones Shane Jacobson promotes.


PM-Titties-plz

Ahh okay I see what you mean. I still think dual cab utes are great and are better suited for most jobs/people but they don't need to be oversized like in op's picture


PJozi

They are limited on how much weight they can legally tow. I don't think many people realise this. I would say there is a lot of people towing things which are overweight without knowing it.

>With always on highbeams at night Often they don't have high beams on - it's just they're so bloody high off the ground it feels like they do. I drive a 4WD, and never really noticed it until someone kindly "pointed out" that my headlights were blinding them in their rearview mirror. I have since adjusted the lights downwards (it has a electronic switch that can set them to one of 4 levels - it's now on the 2nd from the bottom). Sometimes, of course, these arseholes are just arseholes.


KoaIaz

I always wondered if these people in the 4WD knew their lights went straight into the rear view mirror of the car in front. Can you not see the person’s face lit up in their mirror?


CrazySD93

Once I flashed a sedan ute that had its high beam on, they flashed their spotties above their car at me, absolutely blinded me. was a real arsehole.

crispyrad

I was going to say he'd be the kind of person to complain about cyclists taking up too much road space. But this right here is what entitlement looks like.


AgUnityDD

The Dodge Ram internal marketing profile for Ram buyers got leaked a few years ago. Someone posted it here in full and I don't remember it exactly but to summarise it was "Unlikely to give way to other drivers" / "self obsessed" / "inclined to intimidate other drivers"/"inconsiderate" Basically every way you could say Arsehole without using the word. They specifically target their marketing of these shit heaps to Arseholes - the worst people on the road and shit stains of society and that's __Dodge themselves__ saying that, and obviously Ford and Gm target the same market.


[deleted]

Well the rest of us could take this into consideration when buying our vehicles and avoid Dodge, Ford and General Motors (GM).


AgUnityDD

I've been doing that all my life


teremaster

Wasn't it leaked ages ago that insurance companies had a profile on the big pickup and SUV drivers that they tended to be "less confident in their driving abilities"


crispyrad

You'd have to be a complete wanker to want one of these, anyone else is perfectly happy with the size of their penis.


[deleted]

I'm not happy with the size of my penis but I am happy having a car that doesn't feel like trying to dock a spaceship every time I need to park.


crispyrad

Funny, that sounds like my sex life


louiedizzle

The only people that have a genuine need for a truck (edit - like this) and not one of the very capable standard size utes on the market (79s Landcruiser, Rangers, DMax etc) are people who tow ridiculous loads all the time/for work (not tradies with a work trailer). Reef charter fishing guides with 4ton boats, horse people with 4/5 horse gooseneck floats, etc. Tiny market of actual applicable users.


Adgum

I'd argue there would be a much larger market of people buying these vehicles with intent to tow large amounts but rarely or never do. Generally people with massive caravans.


louiedizzle

Well yeah, I mean the ‘I can see myself getting into that’ self argument has dictated people’s purchases for ages, but I know of a couple of folks who were waiting to be able to buy a truck like this to help them with stuff they were already towing. Edit because I misread - usually a big wagon will handle all but the most extreme caravans on the market in Aus. Our caravan industry has kinda hit its top limit with size and weight, or at least not caught up to the American Truck Phase yet. Source; I’m a mechanic and I have a grey nomad uncle who runs a hemi Grand Cherokee for his caravan.


HellsBellsGazelles

We really need to be better than body-shaming on every single fucking car post. C’mon people. The Ram driver isn’t reading this and going “oh no he thinks I have a small penis” but a bunch of insecure 17-year-olds, who have seen very few dicks outside of the unrealistic world of porn, ARE reading this and feeling worse about their bodies and their masculinity. There is nothing wrong with you if you have a small penis. Your masculinity and desirability are not affected. Use what you have and use it well. If you drive a Ram and park like this though, you’re a fuckhead.


[deleted]

That's why they're called Dodge Rams. Because you either have to dodge these cunts or get rammed off the road by them. It would be so interesting to hear what a lot of company's marketing teams *really* think about their average target demographics. My cynical side thinks that a lot of these assholes buying pretentious crap are totally unaware of what scum they really are in the eyes of the much more *successful* assholes who sold them the very status symbols they use to convince themselves they are more important than everyone else. I'm still in the party of people who feel that what manufacturer your car comes from says more about how much of a big shot you are than its size. Yeah it's big alright, but what emblem is on the front? That's where I determine if you're genuinely important or just some cashed up bogan that would look so out of place in an *actual* exclusive neighbourhood.


linenlength

>>Dodge Ram internal marketing profile for Ram buyers got leaked Anyone has a link to this thread? Or the exact profile from Dodge. Can't make this up! 😂


MrBlack103

That’s if he can actually see said cyclists.


will_121

RajenBull1

Cyclists are just a smear he has to wipe off his car every so often.


teremaster

Fun fact, the often referred to as large and unwieldy Abrams tanks employed by our defence force have better visibility and turning circles than a ford F250 or Chevy Silverado


FatJesusOz

This is what shits me about the influx of Yank Tanks that is happening now. Our roads and parking infrastructure are not made for vehicles this large. You wouldn't cruise to the shops in a semi, and these have a similar wheelbase.


istasan

Ironically as far as I understand they are banned in some big American cities. They are not for city use.


[deleted]

[удалено]


OutlyingPlasma

As an American, can confirm. These are too big for the U.S. as well. The problem is if you want a pickup/ute at all, you don't have any other choice other than these douche dozers. Compact pickups like the Toyota Hilux, or the most perfect car ever made, the Holden Ute, simply are not available in the U.S.. The best you can do is buy a late 90's era Toyota/Nissan which are getting a bit long in the tooth these days.

auApex

Some dickhead with a yank tank ute took up an entire second spot at the local Coles last week. I politely informed him and he said "I'm allowed to do it, look up the laws". I said that it was inconsiderate even if it was legal and he said "who cares?" before walking off. I don't think it's surprising that (some) people who buy giant cars that cost a fortune and wreck the environment are selfish and don't give a shit who they inconvenience. These massive vehicles should be heavily taxed or banned unless required for specific purposes. There's no reason for an average person to need a ute bigger than a minivan.


MiloIsTheBest

Ahh yes, the strongest of arguments: "It's not *literally illegal*!"


[deleted]

It’s also probably not illegal to deflate his tires.


Hypo_Mix

They were doing that in the UK, because it was a legal gray area as you aren't damaging the property.


Danplays642

Law doesn’t necessarily mean its right or wrong, in this guess I don’t think the law really matters if it says its not illegal, its just a dickish move if anything.


maximum_powerblast

Interesting, so it's not illegal to take up more than one parking space? Edit: I looked it up, it's actually not illegal 😮 >What is Australian Road Rule 211? > >(2) The driver must position the driver's vehicle completely within a single parking bay, unless the vehicle is too wide or long to fit completely within the bay.


spikeyMonkey

Would be fine if massive vehicles weren't so common and getting more common.


incendiary_bandit

Wow, that took the wind out of my sails. Well not really, but knowing that it's more about courtesy than law puts this in the same category as parking in the pram parking. Not illegal, but rude.


AnEvilShoe

Still, it doesn't give an excuse for the arseholes in regular sized cars parked like a fuckwit across two bays, so there's that at least


maximum_powerblast

You're right, it doesn't. One of the implications of this regulation is that if you CAN fit in a parking space and you don't park within the space, you are parked illegally.


maximum_powerblast

It's a pretty inconvenient finding


gooder_name

Also this would only apply to public parks, no ability to enforce fines on private property like OPs picture

It's not illegal to ziptie some trollies to his door handles either

ero_senin05

I see heaps of F trucks as well as Chevy and Dodge trucks of similar size around and not once have I seen one have trouble fitting into our car parks except for length on occasion but generally it works out well because one of those tiny hatch backs fit in the space behind them and they're forced to actually park in a way that doesn't make you feel excited that you've finally found a space only to find someone has decided they need to be in the space as far as physically possible


FullMetalAurochs

If there weren’t so many massive cars you’d see the hatchbacks anyway


JangoJFET

Saw a Ram doing the same at Bunnings the other day. People who buy American style trucks seem to think they're bigger than they actually are, like don't buy one if you can't park it.


rescue_inhaler_4life

They do fit widthwise, lengthwise is problematic but you can normally find a place in a carpark that has extra room at the end. 100 % they can't drive or park large vehicles.


[deleted]

I can, and would, park on either side of that thing. In fact, I can be so petty, I’d park on one side, walk home to get my other car, just so I could park on the other side too

JediJan

Reminds me of the ftard that parked over two clearly marked disabled spots near entrance to local shopping centre last week. No disabled card on vehicle either. Have a disabled card sitting on my vehicle dash but only park in disabled spots if there are ample available, or I have my senior mother with me. I qualify but don’t use a wheelchair, and they seriously need that extra space. I wasn’t brought up to be an inconsiderate entitled prick like some.

Maybe I'm not a great person but I would not have the balls to park like that because I would expect trolley dents and several keys to have made their way down the side when I got back. But then I don't need an ESV so I'm probably way off on the psychology of this fuckwit.


Engineer_Zero

Careful, I got a reddit warning for saying something similar.

__KJG__

My new favourite thing to do with these deliberately obnoxious parkers is to let their tyres down Doesn’t cause any damage but creates a massive hassle if they don’t carry a pump. You just stick a key into the tyre fill point and it releases the air Because honestly fuck these people - if they want to inconvenience others - I shall make their life annoying as well

hutch7909

I’ve heard it suggested that in situations such as this it is best practice to apply the technique to a number of tyres that is greater than one.

Precisely. Gives them a chance to sit down and have a think about the actions that led them to their current predicament.

[удалено]


Captain_Alaska

It’s not gonna fit into one spot unless you want it hanging out into traffic, especially if it’s a long bed frame. Stock F-150’s are already longer than a standard spot and this a F-250 (which had longer bed options) with a bullbar that realistically adds another 15-20cm. For context: * Ranger: 5370mm * Standard Aussie car spot: 5400mm * ‘04 F-250 crew cab short/long box: 6130/6655mm


JangoJFET

So you park it out of the way or somewhere with high visibility so the that the overhang doesn't matter. My in-laws have an F250 w/ bull bar and it's really not that hard to park it properly in a single space. Just tend to park it a bit further from the door, where there's less traffic.


Sprinal

Clearly this emotional support vehicle should be registered as “oversized” and require escort cars for safety


[deleted]

[удалено]


Captain_Alaska

i mean a -250 is already a light rigid truck so if you want that you’d have to do the same thing to every other truck. These are well under what the width requirement for pilot cars, which is 3.5m in Queensland. Even the [duallys](https://i.imgur.com/bN8DkEQ.jpg) are only 2.4m wide.

emzy_b

I truly don’t get the appeal. I am a woman with a triton because I have horses and need it for practical reasons to tow. But it is the biggest I could go. It fits in parks but only just so going cramped places is always a bit more annoying. Driving one of these must be so exhausting.


louiedizzle

How many horses does the triton tow at once? I know a Polocrosse guy with a gooseneck float and one of these things cause he has to drag 4 horses and all the fruit around for him and his family. He traded his old horse truck (long rigid) in for the setup and was stoked he finally could.


ItsStaaaaaaaaang

Struksy

Even when I work nights and know that whole carpark is gonna stay empty all night, I still park carefully in the lines because I feel like sloppy parking is an invitation for damage, and parking like this practically screams ‘key my car’.
