    As a carpenter, I’m just curious how you think the building you live in got built?

        Yep open vans have 4x the space. You occasionally see tiny-penis trucks in Europe and I always make a point of looking in the back - it’s always immaculate and unused

          these trucks are always used by men who look like they are very “confident” in their masculinity, much like pitbull owners.

      97% of carpenters on the planet don’t need tiny-penis trucks mate, there is literally no reason for them to exist

      This is precisely why they can’t have houses in China because all the roads are tiny and they can’t fit a truck big enough to haul a 2x4.

      Right?

      If the local contractors are any indication, they probably haul their stuff on and in an old minivan.

      Mine is built from enough concrete and brick to sink most ships. And most wood frame houses are built from timber trucked in on a flatbed.

      Nobody does large amounts of hauling with a pickup.

      They get a transit van if they actually need to move things around.

      Not with a truck like this, I can promise you lol. This is not the truck of someone who needs to do any work with it. Or even go offroad with it.

      This is an SUV for a man who who’s masculinity is too fragile to own a “feminine” SUV or minivan, so they stick a little tiny bed on the back and he can walk around saying that he uses his truck for Serious Business.

      In my country they use vans like a Mercedes Sprinter because you can actually keep your stuff dry and even make a little workshop in there. The only use I can think of for a pickup truck is maybe gardeners so they don’t have to haul a trailer for their green waste? Could also maybe be useful to haul strawbales if you have a small farm. But you can just do that in a trailer behind your van as well, and your equipment will be dry inside the van and you can leave the trailer when you don’t need it.
