Question

Do Americans buy pickup trucks just for the hell of it and use them like normal cars?

Only Ranchers buy them

I use it to move things around for your wife behind you back.

Americans cars are too big

Why are euros so shit at insulting us that they're just turn out to be compliments?

Sometimes.
I'll give you a ride in my truck when you come to visit, OK?
If you're good, I'll let you ride in the cab.

Or beaners with their joe bidet social security checks.

its just redneck-larping. consooming products like pickups trucks, western wear, workwear etc is the suburban male version of a pinterest board.

Yes they do. They are good for blocking narrow roads, making a lot of noise, running over pedestrians, and picking up groceries from the grocery store 1.3 miles away twice a week. Plus they are good for using up more than one parking space at a time and annoying everyone else.

is the suburban male version

Hate to break it to you, but many big pickup owners and drivers are women. Probably with penis envy but who knows.

Brazil and the US are probably the top two ranching countries. I think Brazil is number one but that doesn't matter. Not to mention our farmers are real farmers. If there is a drought or a plague in a Brazilian farm, the farmer gets broke with a debt that will reach his grandchildren. Our ranchers put their asses on the line. Meanwhile, American "farmers" are heavily subsided glorified civilian feds for all practical purposes.
That said, someday I would love to have a discussion with the FED Amerifatso "farmers" about trucks. Just truck talk. It would be glorious

The huge majority of big pickups in America live in the suburbs.

do you drive it like a regular car?!!

that is a regular car you tard
we don't go buy them at a semi/tractor/heavy machinery dealership

Yes, many of them do, and it's just a big money trap. It is nice to have the ability to haul because you never know when it may come in handy, but I'm not sure if it's worth paying the kind of money they do just to have one.
Many people who actually need them use them too though.

You're brain dead consumers. Your whole country is set up for you to part with your money in any possible way and you buy into it. Joke of a country. A bunch of retards with loads of guns and state money.

Do Brits impoverish themselves to make sure Pakistanis have unlimited welfare?

Yes. America is filled with a bunch of honky ass shrimp dick losers.

1pbtid

State money?

Mostly. IIRC there was a survey done on pickup truck owners last year and 71% of them claimed to have only used the truck bed once in the last year. Part of the problem though are CAFE regulations that kind of force American cars to be enormous.

Your governing bodies have loads of money that they spend on really important things like empty warehouses in Iraq.

Uh you'd be speaking fucking German if it wasn't for our government sweetie

Yeah half tons are just our replacement for sedans now. Pic related is usually a working man’s truck though.

I reckon you'd be speaking German too if wasn't for ours. I wish we were speaking German at this point.

Why do soi cucks get so mad at people who own trucks? At least it has a bed you can put stuff in that isn’t gonna fuck up your interior. If you’re not buying a truck, you’re buying an suv or a Tesla for the same amount. In the end, theyre all giant wastes of money, yes.

Out of my 8 close friends, I’m the only one that doesn’t own a 70k+ vehicle even though we all make around the same amount of money.

They are safer than the average sedan or compact hatchback.
What I want is to discuss actual trucking with your FED civilian government workers disguised as "farmers"

not just for the hell of it, but to signal our high test, high competence, high value

I don't think it's about people owning trucks, it's little office workers thinking they need one to feel like a big man. It reminds of the women here who own 4x4s like range rovers to drop the kids off at school, and they get them on the road and it makes them feel big. There's nothing wrong with a truck if you use it for its purpose.

My guilty pleasure has been listening to Mutts (mostly niggers tho) complaining about the amount of money they owe, the value they've lost and etc. after buying a car. The niggers working on 3k USD per month would refuse to sell their 800 HP Dodge Demon, despite paying 1500-2000 per month just for the car + the gas as a food delivery driver. An actual quote from one of these videos was "nah I can't be seen driving in no Honda, bruh" and it was said by the Dodge Demon guy. That's a nigger who refuses to sell his 70-90k USD car and to stop being a debt slave to the Jews because he can't be seen in an efficient and well made Japanese car for 20-25k USD. Those types of niggers are getting 30% interest and are financing for 108 months just so they can afford the monthly payment.
But what do I know - my car is worth one month of salary and is literally bulletproof (VW Golf 5 1.9 TDI, I love this car). Overpaying for a car or taking a loan for a car is actual nigger behavior.

I'm driving a 2009 skoda fabia estate, 1.2 with a little turbo, back seats down with a dust sheet in the back. Americans are retards.

My daily drive is worth 2 months of my salary. High five, unknown flag bro

our pickup trucks are like this because unions demand ever higher wages which makes simple and rugged trucks uneconomical to build.

They take it a step further and put big lifts on the truck so that they can never actually haul anything. Nothing is going in the bed or on the hitch. Many of them are a couple bad months of business away from complete financial destruction.

He's not wrong though. American cars get bigger every year because of chicken tax.

Not an F350 with duallys but an F150 with a little eco crap motor? Very, very common.

Hey now, name calling isn't nice.
Angry person that you seem to be, you shouldn't wonder why we never invite you to our backyard BBQs.

American ranches produce a very small percentage of American beef. Most is produced in massive feed lots.

Family farms are dead in America only huge corporations farm now. That being said my buddy owns a small farm and the govt pays him not to grow crops because he has wetlands on his land.

I have a 2022 f350 I use for farm work, the 5th wheel, and the boat, a 2018 sienna for the wife to shuttle the kids around in, and a 2012 camry I dd. If I need an HD truck i buy ford, toyota for everything else

I call whatever ranching you do fake farming. You are thinly disguised FEDs that´s what you are. I would love to talk trucks with one of you feds

Idiot

All the time. I hate it so much.

Why do you think everyones 30k in debt

I've no shit known at least 1 person who had a dually truck and didn't own anything to haul and didn't for work. On top of that it was leased.

Yes. I live in a major city in the south and a lot of people buy these and use them solely as personal vehicles. We have one but it is used for hauling horses and picking up thousands of pounds of food twice a month.

Bulgarian flag. Not a big flex, but one of your old Presidents was from a Bulgarian origin on her father's side - Dilma Rousseff. From what I read she is a commie tho, so I don't really know how positive her work as a President was for Brazil.

I 've owned a normal car but I've needed to haul things at various times and needed a truck. Would be nice to have but not as a daily.

doesn't everyone do that? I am one guy who lives alone and I have a fleet of half tons, 3/4 tons and 1 ton pickups. Like way more than most anyone would need. If I don't hoard them then who will?

I took a leaf out of the American playbook and bought a van so I can block driveways and drive unnecessarily aggressively at all times

The US government disproportionately taxes actual cars. The idea was to exempt light trucks from car-taxes under the presumption that people would only buy them for business purposes and businesses should not be burdened with car taxes when they buy vehicles. Car-companies saw this exemption as an opportunity to rebrand Light Trucks and SUVs as regular cars. Sprinkle in a culture which associates owning a truck with rugged individuality, an extensive private property and romantic notions of blue collar work and you end up with a society where many of these trucks are bought by people who can't really afford them and don't actually need them most of the time.

The pickup truck in your picture has three extra seats because it isn't designed for a redneck who needs to haul lumber and cinder-blocks, it is designed so a suburban soccer-mom can drop her kids off at the pool.
In the meantime the most popular light trucks in the USA have gotten so big that too expensive and over-engineered for the needs of many actual small business owners, who have turned to importing tiny japanese Kei Trucks which cover the "actually need to get around with my equipment"-niche very well, rather than the "need to signal that I could haul a bunch of stuff eventhough I don't"-niche many of the other trucks are actually used for.

Also I'm mad that I can't just get a utility vehicle for 10k. I dont want a slate

I drive a 1.8 TSI Golf and it's paid off. Love the thing to bits and do a good chunck of the maintenance myself. I can not fathom going into massive debt for some shit like a Demon. Only trucks I want are an early 90s HiLux or a late 60s-mid 70s 100 series Ford.

American

van

Vans in the US either means you are an Asian immigrant who thinks they are luxury, or you are very poor. Even companies prefer to get a truck with a shell than a van

She was a disaster, but I have absolutely no qualms with Bulgaria and my countrymen do not either. You are bros for all practical purposes

I can’t think of a reason to not want more storage for on your vehicle. You have both needs of heavy, dirty shit in bed and delicate things in the rear seating compartment.

civilian government workers disguised as "farmers

You are as delusional as the troons that you fuck…

Yeah our government pays huge subsidies to corporate farms, but regular family farms and ranches get fucked.

For the family rancher or farmer, it’s a game of hoping that you have 5 good years out of 10 to cover the bad years, and if weather, prices, or circumstances are bad more than that they go under and get bought out by the subsidized corporations.

Add to that a constant increase in property taxes from encroaching development and land valuation and the average family farm needs to generate a large positive cash flow just to keep the land out of tax court.

So yeah mondelez, Tropicana, Tyson, and the like are all making out like bandits and win if the crops or stock boom or fail because of subsidies, but Johnny Dirtfarmer has to wait for Willie Nelson and John Cougar to hold another beggar concert to get any relief bucks…

Some do, some don't. I have never owned a truck but I have driven plenty of company trucks. We use them for hauling shit around.

A measured take, but partially untrue. The truth is that the two-seat utilitarian truck does exist, but it is a hassle as you need to order it and have it sent to a dealer who will be bitch about it. Most trucks readily avaliable at dealers are the one you describe, which are more SUV with a bed than anything. Really the problem is that the profits from the big family trucks are so high, and the social ideal of a truck being an every-vehicle is so big, that people just forget they can get a cheaper truck, ND compnies/dealers are all too willing to keep it that way

It is ok to buy them if you like them. Fuck everyone else. If you like them and you have the money, got get them
I wanted a discussion strictly about trucks with a diabetic fatso FED fake "farmer"

I took a leaf, homie, not the entire playbook. Vans are more commonly seen two inches off your back bumper here than pickups are. What do Asian immigrants see in a Chevy Express though?

You will never be allowed to own that. It beats the very purpose of your country.

Vans in general. Chevy express is a ultra-niche work vehicle that only seems to be in construction sites for some reason. Not only that but insurance gets itchy here when it comes to vehicles like that and some demand that it must be a commercial vehicle

All of the redneck boomers and small dick energy douchebags in my town use them like normal cars.

It's also against even the most rudimentary of Saftey Regulations. Kei trucks only got a pass due to being old imports. People often forget that those 10k trucks are not only made for third world countries, but really should be 5k trucks and are already overpriced

Almost all cattle graze most of their lives. They spend their last few weeks in a feed lot to get fattened up for the slaughterhouse.

Haha I guess it will hold more value for resale? Not that he sees that money of course.

you put things in the back of it like construction materials and furniture. You also use it for offroading where cars cant go. Hunting, camping, dirt roads... all the things you metrosexual bong faggots wouldnt know about.

They hold value like you wouldn’t believe. Probably the best holder in the market when it comes to vehicles.

Yep, I feel the same way towards Brazil.
Commies should never be in power, tho. As a matter of fact, her father was forced to flee Bulgaria after the Bulgarian Communist Party was banned in 1924. It's just a bad coincidence that he ended up in Brazil.

Had a Ford Focus

Decent car, cheap, reliable enough

Replaced with Honda Civic hand me down

Honda getting on in years

Look for possible replacement

Ford Focus is discontinued

Remembered I rented a Ford Fusion that was cool

Discontinued

Ford offers zero Sedans, only SUVs, full-sized vans, and pickup trucks

So much for buying American, I guess I'll buy another Honda.

Brazilian ranchers, even the big ones, put their necks on their produce. And they feed the world.
A drought, a plague, a dry season, will put a Brazilian farmer through hell. It would be the end of his bloodline. He would be so deep into debt he would be a dead man walking
Not so with your diabetic, lardbucket fatso pretend FED farmers. You get the government paying you up, you even go on strike sometimes.
The complete absurdity of Amerifatso "farmers" going on strike must not be missed
And after all that, you lose to us. We feed most of Europe. More importantly, we feed China, we feed them well. Heavily. Our surplus of food is so great we cannot send it away fast enough.
And we do it on our own, without dollars freshly printed out of thin air, without diabetic ignorant fatsos complaing and going on "strikes" and certainly without gaudy, ridiculously thriftless "trucks"

Americans mentally project their vehicle as their genitals, unironically. Most people with trucks don't use them for any sort of real utility. It is literally just

haha I have a big expensive car my dad bought muh dick lmao

Americans are the ultimate consoomerist golem.

I won't lie, I'm shitposting a little based on that one Goldie Lookin Chain song about van ownership and the kind of image of van ownership it portrays. But wow, I don't get why Asian immigrants are buying vans in the first place unless they pretend to operate commercial businesses. I guess the Chevy Express is my archetypal American van because it hasn't changed in about 20 years and Chevy won't put the thing out to pasture. Why improve upon perfection, I guess

Honda is American, and Toyota too. Basically most of their sedan models are made in the US

American cars are literally trash why would you?

Yeaaaahhh...
...yeah...
Come get your fuckin' shoe box rollover queen.

Muh car

Muh dick

Muh car is a representation of muh dick

If you drive an economical car you're a bad person!!
What circumcision does to a nigger

In places like Africa, a truck like this is a major asset, one that they will buy to last 20-30 years. Not just because it's a vehicle, but because of the amount of bulk food it can carry. If you buy in bulk, you have a lot of money, so this truck almost pays for itself over time.

In places where life is hard and you can't trust your environment to be stable, this is the thing. Well, this type of truck but a Toyota. Driving one as a matter of taste is silly when it's other people's sense of taste you'd be trying to appeal to.

Asians have an idea that vans are the pinnacle of luxury and get anything that can even be thought as a van (including Cubs). The American work van faded from the limelight around the same time the mini-van craze ended at around the 2008 financial crisis, when really a bunch of other car niches like the FWD coupe died out. It is only now that the Ute is slowly coming back in the maverick and santa cruz, but it will take time

save a lot of money*

I'm too stupid to understand he was agreeing with the comment he replied to

Is this projection?
Do you require assistance?
Actually, you probably need a gif of car shapes followed by a few highway accident videos.

I bought one because everyone kept telling me to get one and people leave presents in the bed of the truck sometimes

I found 2 wires and a random key so far

Your banks have overseen uncountable trillions in wealth. Seriously, where did they put it? Britain looks poor as fuck. So do we all compared to 10 years ago, but the UK should look like Sevilla in its heyday. What happened?

In places like Africa, a truck like this is a major asset, one that they will buy to last 20-30 years.

What a ridiculous, 6th grade take.
Africa runs on old Toyota Land Cruisers you ignorant diabetic fatso

I drive a big expensive car and therefore my dick is very large and I am badass. I just want everyone to know.

Double digits are Kek's thanks for this knowledge. Many thanks, anon. I would never have thought a panel van luxurious but I guess their tastes are 20 years behind. Maybe they'll graduate to Corvette Boomers in the next 20 years, once the current Corvette Boomers retire. From "one of 25555 made in this colour in this year with optional electric windows hoss" to "sar"?

I have done mining security in Africa for two years, you ridiculous sheltered mongrel

They're cool and are one of the few cars that hold value in trade in market. It's a feminine trait to constantly worry about what someone else "needs"

I've seen lots of vids of 40 something stumpy karens owning those

Meant it for this guy:

Many do, yes

Not so with your diabetic, lardbucket fatso pretend FED farmers. You get the government paying you up, you even go on strike sometimes.

getaloadofthisfag.jpg

Strike? Fucking lol, a family farmer would only be striking against himself. They can only sell what they produce so no product no money.

You think like a favela monkey,

like because you have to ride a rickety tuk tuk from your corrugated shack to go shovel shit all day, nobody else should have a higher standard.

trannyfuckeronmotorbike.jpg

A drunken asshole has no owner…
that’s a Brazilian statement that shows exactly where your standards are.

You have a delusional, planned economy view of how things work, and think that American farmers are employed by the government instead of in near constant struggle with them unless they are corporations or otherwise politically connected.

Corvette boomers will be completely extinct as millenials basically never got a "RARE CAR RARE COLOR" edition they could buy, and Gen X cars are (from 70's and 80's) are either complete garbage or just not taken car of to the level of reverence that boomers did to their 60's muscle cars. Being around Asians (forge in and domestic) I expect most of them to be the ones who go full robotaxi/waymo once they start offering those garish Asian vans as an option.

unless they are corporations or otherwise politically connected.

Pretty much all of your FED farmers. Gratuitous truck pic for you

Once you own a pickup truck you'll understand. They're functional, can fit the whole family and are 100% the best vehicle type to own.

Also, fuck your faggot redditspacing GTFO

You're supposed to drive on the pile, not in the hole.

You are big ol seething favela monkey

they are big and full of shit and comfy, you feel safer in big steel box.

mfw I can still wait on importing early C4s with the Doug Trash 4+3

Let´s be reasonable. I own a truck too, an American one at that. But I have a sedan too. It is a pain in the ass to travel in a truck. They are safer, I agree. But you have to insulate all your baggage and take it out at every sleeping stop point. Traveling in the truck is a pain in the ass. I have done it, and it sucks. A van or a sedan is much more convenient if you are traveling from an urban environment to another

I want one with a top camper, would be nice to do some camping in BC.

Your point stands, I was more responding to the fact this truck is leased. The leasee doesn't get credit for keeping the truck perfect. It's more of an expectation.

the american truck industry successfully convinced americans that the trucks last longer than the average car

american regulations force vehicle manufacturers to build larger vehicles to get past emission standards, killing the american utility vehicle because there's no distinction between cars and trucks

this also means SUVs on car chassis which are larger than trucks have truck emission standards

That's 55% of operations. Not 55% of production.
False. Only 4% of beef cattle by weight is grass fed including grain finished.

Why the fuck would you not graze them? It’s the cheapest thing to make them grow.

So you just agreed with me and then became hostile for some reason? You are surrounded by Brazilian women and this is how you act haha.

You have no idea how you sound, as a sheltered Amerifatso in your ridiculous scenery, to talk to a Brazilian about how to four wheel. We do not do it for fun, we hate it. We do it because we need to, many of our farms border the Amazon jungle, retard

I am so drunk I lost the train itt. Remind me and I will reply.

Yes

Yeah some people do

insert jokes about urban/suburban cowboys here

I use mine for work and for fishing.

That truck in picrel start at 85k and goes up to 150k the only people buying them are using them as tax writeoffs.

Based i want a small truck like this or an old bronco

4 spots for extra effect

It is a very effective all-purpose vehicle. Safer than sedans and hatchbacks. It is, however, pretty shitty for long distance traveling between urban centers. That´s a factor.

You move your wife around in the back?

The EPA has effectively outlawed inexpensive, compact, fuel efficient trucks.
Most of us are pissed off about it.
But go ahead and pretend whatever bullshit you're slinging.

Yes, it’s like owning a luxury car but not luxurious. Rednecks and Mexicans get them to LARP as country music versions of modern cowboys.

faggot redditspacing

Making a post that is legible is not plebbit spacing, favela monkey.

Germany7BrazilBanner.gif

Neither are taunting jpg or gif file names

Neither is the graft that has gone on in both our countries for decades, which was the point of this discussion, but you have to go full favela monkey and show your jealousy of your betters with every ensuing post.

tl/dr: eat shit or sopa de macaca, same thing

Ahmed big mad

Also a fair point. London might as well be New York City for the money that passes through its financial institutions. Why are British people so poor?
