It looks like an April fools joke but in case anyone is curious, it's a real truck and it is 21 feet long. 4 doors with an 8 foot bed is available from other manufacturers as well. Here is a good article about it:

People who buy these are the same ones complaining that bikes take up too much space on the road.

Funny you say that, because the hoodie the guy is wearing is for a company that primarily makes motocross clothes/gear. Which leads me to think, this guy wanted a truck that could fit a motocross bike in the bed while still having four doors.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 27 points 7 months ago

Oh you're probably right. Imagine, he could have a hatchback with a trailer hook instead. But nope, gotta cart around all that extra space for the 3 times a year you take your bikes to the motocross track!

Like half the parking lot at work is full of these monstrosities. My dude, you work in a factory and all of the transportation is done by professionals in semi-trucks, just get a sedan. Fuck, spend that $100k on a luxury sports car instead.

Fuck, spend that $100k on a luxury sports car instead.

This is what fucks me up about all these trucks. A $100k sports car would be way cooler and way more fun than an identical truck to every other thumb headed chud on the road

Yeah but if you don’t dodge those giant trucks in your zippy sports car you will be flattened like a pancake. Truck owners are paying to be the apex predator of the road

I would simply not have this skill issue.

neither does the fastest antelope of the herd, but chuds aren't paying big bucks to be the fast antelope they want to be the lion

The amount of assholes that park these in parking garages without a second thought. That goes double for the massive assholes that park their own long bed truck in a spot across from someone else's Kiddy Crusher F250 King Super Crew Cab Platinum Limited Edition™ so that you have two truck beds blocking the driving space on opposite sides of the isle.

I'm about to start keying trucks in the company garage

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

It looks odd because of the bed proportions, I think. A forty year old pickup for example, single cab long bed, is only a foot shorter bumper to bumper. Well, the bumpers are a bit big on this one in particular but I've measured it.

[-] The_Walkening@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

The height doesn't help on this either. Pickup trucks used to be way lower in ground clearance.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

2wd ones, for sure

[-] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 7 months ago

That truck has nothing on this guy’s monstrosity. This 16ft bed pickup exists because somebody wanted it to

Getting one of these for the truck so i can do laps in the bed

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

HAHAHAHA that shit looks so bad

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

I had no idea this was going around. I saw it a week ago and just now got around to posting. That’s pretty funny
