    If this person works in a trade that requires heavy hauling of equipment and matrials, fine. They need this truck.

    If this person is using it to make up for personal inadequacies then fuck them for buying a monstrosity that pollutes like hell and wasted gasoline.

      To be fair, going to IKEA is a defensible application for a vehicle like this. Some of those flat packs are pretty bulky.

        You’re going to purchase a 22ft truck just for Ikea trips? How often are you going to Ikea for large furniture?

          Perhaps there are people who don’t keep a fleet of differently-sized trucks so as not to overshoot.

            Right, so these people are going to drive a 22ft truck everywhere because they might go to Ikea at some point in the next 5-10 years?

            I went to Ikea with my Honda Civic and strapped my order to the roof of my car. It was awkward for 1 day instead of being awkward every single day.

              Silly. For whatever reason they have access to a big truck. Going to IKEA today: do I take the Toyota Starlet or the big truck? I’ll take the big truck.

              Maybe they’re doing work that involves moving a bunch of furniture around and they get a portion of it from IKEA?

        If we’re talking working at IKEA as like a delivery guy yeah but as a normal dude you don’t need a full size pickup for a once a year thing even I a dude who lives in the middle of nowhere Vermont and have to haul firewood to stay warm during winter my willies jeep does the job just fine and that’s a car that doesn’t even have a bed I just have a crap ton of horsepower and a trailer people forget that jeeps entered the civilian market as a work vehicle for farms and lumber yards

          If you’re picking up something big from IKEA, you probably borrow whatever you can. Maybe your cousin has a big-ass truck they can let you use.

        I believe Ikea have their own vehicles.

        I once rented a cargo van to buy a mattress and bed frame from IKEA. It turned out that I didn’t need the van at all and could have packed everything into the 4-door sedan I had at the time. Part of it was because the mattress was rolled up in a compact manner. I seem to recall that the van could easily fit in one spot.

      It’s easy to figure this out. Just look in the bed of the truck.

      If the truck bed is clean and empty, you’ve got yourself a Pavement Princess.

        if you look at the bed and it’s empty, but dented and worn, you high the owner of that truck if you see them for using it properly.

        If it has shit in the bed and it’s pristine and mint, you scowl at them for owning a new truck.

      the only road vehicles longer than 20 feet that i know of off the top of my head are busses, and box trucks, and im guessing this is a box truck.

      Neither of those are cool enough for someone with a small dick to drive as a daily lmao.

        Looks like a dodge ram pickup. Stock they are 229 inches long. That’s 19 feet. If they have a front cattle guard and some kind of towing accessories in the rear it could be 22 feet. Hopefully a work truck, and I assume it is with the note… Otherwise definitely small dick energy hahahahaha

        There’s also much longer vehicles that suit different purposes that people use without issue. We have no idea what their day-to-day work is and this might be the best possible option for them.

        The small dick kill the environment type trucks usually don’t focus on long truck beds.

          And those longer vehicles aren’t really made to run errands or fit in regular parking lots.

            They aren’t, but not everyone can afford two vehicles. I can imagine a person getting an extended cab truck for both errands/family and work. And if this is the case, what are they supposed to do?

            Vehicles are expensive.

            The picture in this case even says this truck is at Ikea. Is a furniture store where you might be loading lots of big shit really not a use case where bringing a long bed truck makes sense?

        Are those tradesmen hauling heavy equipment like the above commenter mentioned? A small van works great for a plumber, not so much for an excavation company. Although i doubt this guy is about to dig up the ikea parking lot.
