What some folks may not know is that at around the same time, Ford had problems with tires imploding on SUVs. While not called out in the Canyonero spoof, I always thought it captured the public vibe about big trucks at the time in light of this.

Can confirm, I have an EV for daily use and a F150 platinum for towing a 8.5k trailer, project work for my house, band equipment, etc... The trim package is where a lot of that extra cost goes (didnt really need heated, massage seats but we have a family member that was our sales guy and it was used so waaaaaaay less than MSRP). It is surprisingly fuel efficient when my partner is out of town and I need to run errands. I also live in a rather rural area so I'm not generally clogging up the roads. Also make it a conscious effort to park way out in the back 40 so I'm not creating a shit show for other drivers in the parking lot. The bonus is, that's usually where the cart returns are so its less steps to get them back to the store!

This has been plagerized directly from a Tex Avery cartoon from the 1950s...

Where I live, a fully loaded truck can be up to 50t without needing any special permits.

Semi trucks have doors too?

I passed a Lamborghini SUV on the road the other day. I checked and it retails for about $250,000. Motherfucker really dropped a quarter of a million dollars for a RAV4-looking vehicle to haul the kids to soccer in.

Yeah that's not true at all. Someone hasn't driven on the backroads near me.

Whoops, you can see where I tried to remove the m. from the youtube URL and messed up!

Canyonaro is far superior

I once saw an asshole who managed to park a compact car on 4 Spaces, one being a handicapped spot. I took a picture, but cant find it.

All things considered, stability and six full seats? Look up Fiat Multipla.
