I’ve heard the phrase “pavement princess” used for such vehicles

can’t help but notice that most of those trunks are empty too

It's just marketing, anyway. Stock trucks are garbage offroad.

Woah there, let's not jump to conclusions! You can't just assume the person they're chasing is black.

If this is the same picture I saw years ago. This is from a farm college. So they kinda need the toe hooks.

Basically yes. Their emissions laws are written so that bigger cars can produce more CO2 and other emissions. So small cars are not viable while large cars are barely regulated.

I heard they are ICEs next target /s

They don’t make sedans anymore. They’ve gone the way of the station wagon

I had an uncle that would quite literally do that and throw the hitch(es) into the bed of the truck every single time he walked through a parking lot. If he had to do that to multiple trucks before getting to the store so be it.

Knew someone who deliberately left it out because they thought it would help mitigate someone nudging into their backend.

To their credit, it actually worked once, someone got a hitch sized hole in their front bumper for a low speed collision.

On the other hand, this person also kept banging their own shin on their tow hitch... But they thought it was worth it anyway...

How else will anyone know that they used their truck for something more than getting groceries? They have to let everyone know they tow a lawn mower with the ridiculously large truck.

Or toss it in through the back window

There's got to be some meth-head scrappers that need this information.

Not to mention anyone in a wheelchair can just get fucked walking around these minefields

Because it’s literally impossible for these assholes to fit their unnecessary behemoths into a real parking spot. The same people who own these complain about parking spots being small, parking garage ceilings being too low, and gas being too expensive. They act like it’s society’s fault. Fucking chuds

Yeah i was going to point this out. Its not just the hitches. All of these assholes have backed in, and deliberately gone in further than the boundary of the bay to minimise how far their nose overhangs the other end.

This happens where I live and I keep wondering how crazy I would be to complain about it. The parking spots aren't long enough for trucks, so they back in and completely cover the sidewalk. I need to use mobility devices to get around and usually have to fight my way through the grass because there isn't enough room for my walker. I'm not looking forward to this fight when snow is on the ground

Parking like that is way easier than parking hood-first, lol.

Even people that work in the profession don't get the ones as huge as these peope drive.

For when you're towing in Australia.

Different size for larger trailers over 3.5t. 50mm or 75mm typical use in Australia.

2" or 3" ball in NA to my understanding. They rotate around.

But just the thought of all those ball sacks in close proximity makes this photo so redneck homoerotic.

My first thought as well. Doubt any of these have locks. I don’t understand leaving it on. I travel on an RV and remove my hitch and store it as soon as the RV is disconnected.

My first thought. I couldn't imagine the foot pursuit, but I could imagine opening the amazon trailer hitch shop.
