MODERATORS
The amount of pavement princesses out there says otherwise.
If we were talking about the F150 and trucks like it, sure. The F250 and up are a completely different matter. They don't share much except the name similarity.
OP was aimed at the completely wrong target.
The F150 is still a dual cab monstrosity. It's foot print is still close to the OPs pic.
Sure. So post about that, not trucks people actually need to get work done.
Which would likely be a transit, not a jacked up 4 wheel drive beast.
Uhh, yes. What do you think you need to haul 26,000 lbs? Trucks like that need long travel suspensions. The fact that a bunch of posers are taking that look and applying it for dick-waving purposes does not change the physics of how suspensions work.
Who fucking hauls around 26,000lbs daily that doesn't need a CDL?
It does need a CDL. People with CDLs also own trucks.
