lilShalom,

People who have children and boats.

malloc,

People that say this probably use the vehicle maybe once or twice a year for that purpose. Otherwise it’s an overpriced grocery store and commuting vehicle. Lol.

Also this looks like a pretty shifty vehicle to tow a boat.

Also, this shit carries 8 people. You telling me every family has at least 6 children? Such bullshit m8. Data indicates otherwise at ~3-4 people in a family since the 1960s. [1]

TheMusicalFruit,

I got rid of my gas guzzler (Ford Expedition) the end of last year for this reason. I hated driving it daily to have the ability to tow our camper a few times a year. I sold them both and got a used Mitsubishi Lancer, it’s fun to drive and gets 33 mpg. Oh and it fits a family of 4, no problem. If you regularly need 3 rows and the same cargo space as a tool shed, you need to reevaluate. Lol

depending on the camper, you could probably tow a small one (if not verry well) on a ford escort.

lilShalom,

The jeep probably doesnt sell well because their reliability is terrible. But people will spend their money on what they want. When you become the next facist leader in america you can ban them.

why is banning a car facist? its mabe a shitty thing to do depending on what you beleave and potentially authoritarian but to be fascist requires verry specific things.

lilShalom,

Have you considered becoming amish? They use horse and buggy, right?

Self fulfilling prophecy

TheDoctorDonna,

People who have children should be worried about these monstrosities. I am a full grown adult and could walk in front of large vehicles completely unnoticed, what chances do kids have unless they too are in one of the giant things. Then everyone is driving them through a desert hellscape after we’ve killed every other living thing by driving them.

I don’t even enjoy driving full-size trucks or SUVs. Though high up, they’re hard to see out of… the giant hood is on your way when off-roading and you can’t tell if you’re about to drive off a cliff. Can’t see children in front of the car, or anything behind it without a rear view cam. Poor stopping and turning, harder to park, terrible fuel economy.

do you feel cool however? /s

lemann,

Ugh… looks like rivian and range rover made an ugly baby.

How long until they start making these things the same size as buses? These vehicles getting bigger and bigger is sure gonna help ease traffic, and absolutely totally not occupy more space on the road for no good reason… ^^/s^^

malloc,

Have you seen the Hummer EV? 9,000 lbs fully loaded.

It’s close to a type A school bus which starts at ~10K lbs.

The smallest school bus is known as a Type A. It carries only 10 passengers and comes in at the lower end of 10,000 pounds. Type B buses can seat up to 24 people but are the same standard size as Type A. This leads them to weigh around the same as Type A buses

lemann,

Oh hell no, that’s heavy AF. I would not want to get hit by that thing!

HelloHotel,

heavy with no crumple zones like a model T while going at modern speeds.

Apparently most Americans. I can’t go anywhere in my tiny car without the vast majority of the parking being filled with behemoths like this thing.
