Clearly designed by someone who hasn't used a pickup truck to it's real potential.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Yeah, this isn't rocket surgery

Also, yay for an actual work truck, and not one of the weird oversize impractical monstrosities that so many people seem to swoon over these days

I heard a real kicker recently. It was something like

My truck looks like it shouldn't be able to haul it but it can. Yours like it should be able to but can't.

Best instagram roast of a modern truck guy I've ever seen.

They were arguing on a post about that guy's massive grocery getter where he was defending the purchase, as usual.

Cool! But I'm struggling with the title of the article. This cab truck was the most single ever? There were other cab trucks that were single, but this one was the most single of them all? Am I misreading this somehow, or is that title just weird?

Then you could add forklift forks and you have a sideloader!

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

That thing looks like a contraption I built in besiege or some game like that

[–] hakase@lemmy.zip 45 points 1 month ago (6 children)

It may be because a large enough load could quickly block the driver's left-side mirror.

Oooh, another thing is that a heavy enough load may imbalance the vehicle enough to make it unsafe on turns.

Anyone see anything else?

[–] chocrates@piefed.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah, nom uniform suspension or adaptive suspension might be important.

Probably not a good idea for 70 miles per hour but it might be a kick ass farm truck

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

That was my first thought. Either the load will make it uneven, or the lack of load will. Also, very weird wind resistence at speed.

But fine at low speed

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 month ago

Large enough load would escape when braking. No wall up front. Add one and visibility goes to shit.

Yard trucks are just a minor evolution away

[–] Xerxos@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Probably bad aerodynamic. Don't they use something like that on the airport? Since they don't drive far, aerodynamics are probably not that important.

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I'd imagine if you're transporting long, heavy things, you wouldn't want to drive too fast anyway.

You joke but this is basically what a vintage British Bus looks like, except the non-cab side is for the Engine.

Because the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

That's one of the few things where the US actually follows most of the world!

[–] laranis@lemmy.zip 24 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You inspired me to fix it:

Points for a non-AI fix.

I used to work at a furniture factory and we got all our steel delivered in a truck with this configuration. 8m and 10m lengths on the shortest possible wheelbase. No backseat though.

Cybertruck designer here: Just had a huge whipper (subscription based), some dishwasher style metal pannels, and we can sell these babies for 200k.

It would "work", but it would be aerodynamically unstable so would be limited to low speeds (<~25mph). This is why this configuration is quite common in construction/industry site machinery, where high speeds are unnecessary and unsafe.

Looks very similar to our yard mules

Beautifully silly

Don't you hate it when you have a genius idea, only to find out someone else thought of it long ago? Nice try, Einstein. Back to the sandbox.
