It doesn’t actually have to be either-or; we can have trucks with significant hauling capacity and have safe roads. My truck is smaller than my last minivan, with a bigger box than most new trucks. I’d go even smaller, but kei trucks aren’t very common here
For the roads to be safe, they need to be designed for these trucks to feel like they are intruders that inconvenience others and so must slow down and politely respect pedestrians and bikes. As opposed to building cities with the comfort of trucks as the first priority, where everyone else feels like they’re intruding in the SUV’s waya and inconvenience them.
honestly, top right is relatable.
Just rent a truck from home Depot. They’re like $45 a day.
72 bucks for 3 hrs, plus gas.
Don’t believe the advertising lies.
Source: rented one to move last year.
Still cheaper then the extra car payment for getting a car twice as big as you need for rare occasions.
No argument there.
And fuck you if you’re under 25, I guess
Oh well in that case, if 24 year olds can’t move pianos, sure: fuck pedestrian safety, non huge SUV drivers and the climate.
