LANDLORDS COWER IN FEAR OF MAOTRAIN
"that train pic is too powerful lmao" - u/Cadende
The emotional support truck of choice around here is the F350 Super Duty, a truck so massive that it needs four rear wheels to carry its own ass. Hogs can't even park it without taking up half a bike lane and it averages 10-15mpg: 
12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!
Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
lmao @ this redditor redditing-out over an obvious joke:
give every tram a cowcatcher for pushing cars out of the way
Ahem
A cowcatcher isn’t the solution either, genius. Just damage the tram and any other vehicles parked near the monstrosity?
The cowcatcher protects the front of the tram, and maybe in the middle of nowhere the rest of it. Here? It would hit that truck, the truck would hit the next car and bounce back into the tram.
Physics aren’t that difficult.
Here? It would hit that truck, the truck would hit the next car and bounce back into the tram.
Am I being stupid or does this not add up at all unless you install the cowcatcher in question is mounted in the rear as sort of a dragnet. there's no car there to the right. it'd fuck up the pillar and the bicycles but that's a tram, I'd say it clears the idiotmobile given sufficient speeds
I think they think the truck will pivot around its center, the rear of it would hit the car on the left (the trucks right if facing forward tbh) which would then move forward into the trolley. The truck wouldn't pivot and would likely barely touch the left car, and even if it did pivot the left car has no reason to move forward as the force would be at an angle to it and also the parking brake should be on so it would more likely just have its back pushed out of the way and the front would barely move. Or they think the truck is bouncy but it would have to be pretty bouncy.
that's a tram, I'd say it clears the idiotmobile given sufficient speeds
I'm not so sure, depends on if there are extra tram cars attached... That truck probably weighs 2700 kg / 6000 lbs, I'd guess it would derail the tram and cause significant damage
At the minimum, all trucks should require a commercial driver's license to use and should come with all the regulations that comes with it
for. real.
its insane the size of vehicles Americans can operate in the US with the same minimal scrutiny as someone in a nissan versa or a chevy leaf.
Loving this new trolly problem tbh.
that trolley should have a really big blade on the side so it can just slice off the front half of cars that do this
I'm picturing a big choppy axe thing like on those Battle Bots
The other day a lunatic driving his Volkswagen Amarok (basically a nazi german version of the RAM) almost drove me over while I was working with my bicycle. Can't hate these oversized murder machines and their drivers any more...
In my area, 90% of these trucks have a huge trailer hitch that sticks out an extra foot or more. Sometimes I'll stop and look at them and there won't be a single scratch on it, meaning they bought it purely for looks since they are removable yet never used.
uhh that's my backup parking sensor so I don't fuck up my paint in case a pillar / low wall / small child unexpectedly jumps in the way of my parking
For the curious this is not a joke I've had multiple truck fuckers say this to my face
I don’t understand why they want them in the first place. Have trouble enough finding parking in my work van which is only about 20cm wider than a regular car.
See contractors using them every now and then and they just seem supremely unwieldy.
As far as contractors go they can have a purpose. We have one at the shop with a lift gate for heavy equipment hauling and pulling the trailers. It's great for hauling things like big 5 door coolers around because they fit in the bed without issue and the lift gate means theres no loading dock required to load or unload them. Plus we are often hauling things like entire grocery store refrigeration racks or 100 ton industrial chillers on the flatbed, so the absurd towing capacity is useful there. It's also what gets used for hauling our large worksite trailer full of equipment to sites for large jobs. Where it is actually used that truck is often indispensable, but most of the time it just sits at the shop because it's absolutely miserable to drive and wildly excessive for most jobs.
Outside of contractor work and farm work IDK why anyone would even want one of those trucks. They can be handy to have available to use but as a daily driver it would be a hinderance far far more frequenly than it would be helpful.
I’ve never seen one of them actually be used to haul stuff (tends to be the supervisors driving them), they usually have a lorry with a tail lift or a crane when you need to move big stuff.
Ours does actually get used to haul stuff. The lift gate I was refering to is a tail lift. You just take one of those big ass pickups, swap the bed out for a flatbed with removable side walls, add a lift gate, and then you have an actual work truck.
If the boss wants to cruise down to a work site they don't get to take the truck. We have a company branded PT cruiser parked right next to the truck for that purpose.
Just get a van
We drive vans. The pickup is for when a van won't cut it.
Some of those suburban curbs are really high, a regular car would shatter like glass if it touched one.
I Hate EVERY Truck Under The Sun
If you live in the US, fuck you I don't care. Your culture was built around overcompensation I guess. BUT IF YOU ARE FROM ANY PART OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD AN HAVE SUCH MONSTROSITY? FUCK. YOU.
A Hylux almost run over my wife once just because. [https://share.google/images/7QjH5iOIRC3ebxsX3](The average motorcycle) here is a tiny urban one. How the fuck a pilot would feel safe piloting such moto around a FUCKING TANK?
Sorry the rant, I get pissed about the subject
Your truck should be compacted into a cube if you pull shit like this.

I FUCKING HATE BIG AMERICAN CARS
Hey babe, new trolly scenario just dropped
It's blocking the trolley 
Same type of shit with Hummers. I just don't get why they're not illegal in Europe
Tow that fucker to the scrapyard
I am pretty sure the tram wins this challenge easily.
Is there video?
this happened in The Hague, The Netherlands and it was a small news item. They towed it, but only after like an hour. The owner was fined heavily because blocking a train or tram is almost a cardinal sin here.
I can't seem to find a news article by googling "Hague dodge ram block tram fined towed", but possibly.
If this happened in Amerikkka it would result in a class action lawsuit against the city government for obstructing parking spaces, leading to the decommissioning of the tram system
Doesn't the USA have a provision to invade the hague if one of their vehicles is remanded?
invading Europe because they made catalytic converters mandatory
Ah yes NATO article 9
