Those trucks are asshole-status symbols, like sports cars used to be.

Don’t lose sight of the goals. The problem isn’t fuel guzzling large trucks, it’s cars.

The build quality in US brands is lacking, on top of them just being too big and too thirsty.

Why would we need such big cars? It’s just a waste of space.

I always heard that US cars have shitty quality in contrast to European or Asian brands.
And fuel hungry ofc. 10 L engine in a passenger car?

Most people don’t realize how much overcompensation for personal inadequacy those big trucks can carry.

Aggresive marketing campaign incoming…

They are also garbage vehicles, long gone are the days of American innovation or quality. The most innovative American car these days is a Tesla, and well, yea they aren’t good at all, they aren’t even the best american EV. Buying an american car in europe is a status symbol showing that you have more money than sense.

As an Aussie, we have way too many of those emotional support yank tanks here, not only are they straight up compensation alert machine, they don’t fit anywhere, overpriced and not all that capable compared to alternative vehicle designed for purpose, and build quality is kinda shit.

Can we call them fascism trucks now???

We do though. Cars have gotten noticeably beefier and taller in the last ten years. People seem to value comfort more than size, and it’s an ever growing trend.

Here we don’t need trucks to make tiny dick wannabees feel country on a budget. We are more refined. We have german crossovers for that.

Streets in the US are wider - those fat ass tanks couldn’t handle all streets in my European hometown and finding parking space would be a daily challenge. Nice example to look up is Bruges, Belgian city since 1128. They’ve got old buildings, small streets and bridges- back when those were built nobody had the ability to imagine a driving monstrosity like a modern American car. Nobody needs this - even without the space issue. Their whole purpose is keeping fuel consumption high.

Those cars aren’t made for the citys in France : they way to large to park and on small road crossing another vehicle make it very difficult.

I think they’re also taxed massively in most of the EU?
