    “Power Wagon” Who named these, some 5yo? What about the “Cool Machine”, " Fast Cruiser", “Speed Demon”? You can have those for 20%.

      Power Wagon is an old badge, dating back to the 40’s. I believe it was the first 4x4 civilian truck… I’m likely wrong. The heavy duty versions were called Power Giants.

      The Power Wagon name goes all the way back to a WW2 military transport manufactured by Dodge (i.e., a powered wagon in army parlance).

      It’s dumb, but there ya go.

    Is there actually a port or camera on the tank that can see from that angle? The tank doesn’t have a windscreen.

    It’s ok, those trucks all have crumple zones. The driver will be completely safe when the vehicle makes impact! /s

    It’s obvious that whoever made that has never looked through any of the portals on an M1A1.

      M1A1 also comes with a pop-up crew commander for extra visibility!

      I assume they were drawing the view with hatches up. If the scenario calls for hatches to be closed, there are greater concerns for a pedestrian than getting run over!

    To make matters worse; lots of the trucks listed that I see on the roads have aftermarket larger “off road” tires and lift kits, making them a good 12+ inches taller than stock.

    And of course, I see them hauling stuff in the bed or on a trailer about 20% of the time at most. But gawd damnit, they’re exercising their rahhts!!

      I think 20% is too generous.

        I once saw a pickup hauling 2x4s. I only noticed because they were too long and not tied down so they dumped them all over an intersection.

      I saw a truck the other day hauling some downspouts in its bed. Except the bed was so short the spouts were sticking out about 3’ over the side of the truck.

      making them a good 12+ inches taller than stock.

      and much safer and more fuel efficient.

      wait a moment… it makes a shitwagon EVEN worse handling and more gas guzzling?

      Holy shit batman, it’s almost as if the owners of these shitwagons are giant assholes

        @mojofrododojo @Lettuceeatlettuce I saw something really wild today. This dude had a Dodge Ram that was lifted… but the tires were small, probably smaller than the recommended size tire for the truck. He was vrooming through a downtown area rolling coal at people dining outside bars & restaurants. So cool. 🙄

          sounds like a grade a toolbag.

          I wish we could execute coal rollers on the roadside. our children, struggling to breath in the future, will wonder why we didn’t.

      12 inches for the last one is an extra 6.5 ish feet.

      Edit: 10.43/1.60 times 12 inches is my calculation.

          To get around wise and well planned carbon limits on vehicles.

          If they’re over a certain size they’re exempt

          Besides being able to charge more for less (because large vehicles aren’t taxed), they also do it to own the libs.

          They’re literally destroying the world to get even with imaginary boogie men

              Yup. Thank you Regan for dismantling government oversight. Thank you Bushes and Clintons for allowing Regulatory Capture for all government agencies, and thanks Trump for corrupting the Health and Justice systems.
