In America, I’m sick and tired of seeing them. They’re minivans for insecure dads. They’re props for office workers who want to LARP as construction workers
Every time I see them, all I can think is that they hate kids (huge blind spots) and love to complain about gas/petrol prices. They also don’t fit in our huge parking spaces. Sure, they have their uses, but I really doubt that the shiny, pristine truck is being used to haul/tow anything
The real construction workers/laborers are usually seen driving normal sedans/cars, minivans, or actual vans. Fuck pickup trucks, they’re awful
I disagree with that. A minivan has a clear and specific function it does rather well (moving a lot of people comfortably, and having a lot of space). These things don’t, really. The cab takes up so much space the bed is close to vestigial, and the only thing it’s really good for is towing.
You can carry more with the minivan, compared to the pickup (just put the wood inside the minivan) and some of them even have all-wheel drive. You won’t be fording streams and climbing mountains with it, as fun as that might look, so that’s probably fine too.

It’s worse in America but it’s coming to Aus slowly but surely. I wish they’d just fuck off honestly.

Eh I see mostly only see tradies in Australia driving these shitboxes.
Where I’m at they are used to tow boats at 85mph while passing everyone on the freeway.
