        I mean this is basically the chode of vehicles. It’s the accurate representation of what those lifted hibeam smokestack truck owners are actually like lol

        Edit: Those mfers are Tonka tough. Still going through life with the mind of a toddler.

          Nah this thing has purpose, unlike most ridculous obnoxious lifted trucks that are poor for both offroading and towing. This would almost definitely perform extremely well offroad and likely was made just to be an offroader. It might not be your hobby or taste, and that’s fine, but someone has created a really cool and special vehicle here

            Yep - pulled up next to a Small-Penis-Mobile the other day, new Ford extra cab, super duty diesel, with that stupid Roosh package no less, so we know he paid a LOT extra. And it was black, shiny and clean, even the tires. Fucking garage queen for a twat.

            Lifted, stupid tires, some stupid gizmo in the receiver.

            I bet I’ve towed more with my 20-year-old “toy truck” than that douchebag ever will. Oh, and he was on speakerphone holding the phone up with his right hand, going 5mph under the limit, holding up traffic.

            I probably get better fuel economy with 250k on the odometer, and I don’t spew out the crap he does.

            Asshat.

            Okay, yeah you have me converted. I’m definitely not a vehicle elitist and am all for purpose lol my initial reaction was how to like it is from the post and how those types of people continually infantile themselves to their own detriment.

            Eh it doesn’t look like a purpose-built offroader to me. I mean you could do a lot worse offroad than with this thing, but there’s a few reasons that make it pretty obvious that this was just made for the fun aesthetic: 1 It doesn’t have very much room for suspension to travel at all, compromising high-speed desert and dune riding. 2. Due to reason 1, it’s articulation is likely very poor, compromising it’s technical trail riding abilities. Maybe it could hold it’s own when mudding? But then again, those aren’t quite the best wheels and tires for the job and I see no snorkel either, so I doubt that it does. So yeah I’m almost certain that they chopped it up not with the intention to make a solid off-road vehicle but because “lol wouldn’t it be hilarious?” Don’t look for logic in or underestimate the enginuity of a bored, slightly buzzed dude with a welder.

              Its most likely a little of both. Definitely agree about the suspension travel, its like the first thing I noticed. Sacrificing the most ideal offroading design for the silliness of the build does not make it not purpose-built, and it also is not the same category as your average lifted grocery getter with massive rims and paper thin tires

    This is unironically awesome. Needs a bigger lift to give room for suspension travel though

      I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago…

              Oh no I was referring to cutting pennies into halves and quarters, then putting them into 12 gauge shells.

          Good for running over kids. I love my relatively tiney, low off the ground car. This thing doesn’t need to be so high at all, it’s just made to look like an SUV. But it turns into a SUCC

            I dunno, I feel like between the shortened body and larger wheels, the height is a bit of an illusion. Just eyeballing it, I don’t think this thing is very tall, perhaps just slightly taller than stock. My point being, this thing probably sits lower than most modern crossovers. Here’s a stock taco for reference, notice that there’s not so much lift to fit the oversized wheels as much as they just enlarged and deapened the wheelwells:

        That’s got to be like a 3 foot bed? I just don’t get how that’s useful vs a hatchback with the seats down?

            I’m now imagining a bundle of 2x4s vertically sticking up 6 feet.

            I think I’ve only once or twice had something not fit the hatchback because the roof was too low. And those items wouldn’t have fit in a 3-4 foot bed either. Plus a proper hatchback should have roof racks to put oversize cargo on anyway.

            I’m not arguing a 5+ foot bed isn’t better than a hatch (my 97 Taco with 6 foot bed comes in handy sometimes), but the shorty beds make me laugh.

    This looks like the truck equivalent of a really short guy with huge muscles and a perpetual scowl, who always keeps his shoulders directly above his knees and his hands in karate-chop pose while he walks.
