I can't understand why someone would want that large of a car
- It’s not even good for truck stuff. All that lift kit is extra weight and puts the bed too high to load stuff into it without a crane.
  It’s also really expensive so you’re not gonna fuck it up when off-roading, though those wheels and tires aren’t off-road ready.
  ETA: It's not even artistic. A low rider isn't good for anything but they look great. Sometimes art can be a reason. But this is just a giant, ugly, beige piece of crap with hideous wheels.
  It’s an entirely useless vehicle that isn’t good for anything and I hate it.
  
  It’s also really expensive
  This is the reason. Conspicuous consumption is a pox on us all.
  
  Conspicuous consumption has been a thing for a really, really long time. But at least in previous time periods the things they were consuming at least were interesting to look at. Now it's just mass-produced bullshit that doesn't even look good. For fuck's sake: They're selling stained and ripped jeans for hundreds of dollars!
  Bring back codpieces and fancy frilled collars! Bring back ornate brocade and gold detailing! Bring back ornate architecture! If you're going to exploit us for our labor at least make things that look good!
  
  Not to mention the borderline useless low profile tires. The bead would probably slip off the rim on a bumpy cottage road, i can't even imagine how poorly they'd perform in real offroad conditions.
  
  lift kit = extra weight, bed too high
  The weight added by a lift kit is a rounding error on the weight of the vehicle
  Beds are too high from the factory so this doesnt actually matter
  Offroading
  This style is not built to go offroading
  Not artisitic
  Not up to you. People are allowed to like things.
  Get better, defendable arguments.
  These trucks suck to drive, ride like shit, get poor fuel economy, pollute the planet (especially after emissions equipment is deleted), but most importantly are unsafe to be on the road: they barely fit in the lanes, the view out of them is abysmal, and are extremely heavy which makes them unsafe in a collision.
  
  Aaaand block
  
  The reason is "mine is bigger than yours", almost entirely.
  And expense, but the size and power numbers are most of what these people care about, like it makes them better than other people in smaller cars in their mind.
  I'm pretty sure a lot of them think everyone driving something smaller is jealous and if they say they aren't jealous they're just lying to cover up that they can't be as awesome as big truck drivers
  
  They're like the Ood except they've just got their egos on the outside
  
  This is not where I was expecting Doctor Who references, but I like it
  
  It's good for making the owner forget they have a micropenis for a short while.
  
  Could we stop using "micropenis" and the likes as insults? There are many men with small dicks who aren't insecure assholes.
  
  Agreed. Moving away from body shaming, here are a couple of names for such a huge vehicle: Pavement Princess, Emotional Support Vehicle.
  
  Pavement Princess is my go-to
  
  short while
- I know right?
  The tank is obviously better for the commuter.
- Right? If I'm going to get a vehicle that big it better have a 120mm cannon at least.
  
  And come up to traffic ahead? What traffic? You just keep going!
- Insecure little boys generally
- Otherwise it wouldn’t fit the owner’s inflated ego.
- society has made us see cars more as a statement of one's image rather than an object of utility.
  this is also why luxury brands thrive in general -- because there exist people with more money than sense.
