    You should see the shit these guys haul off from my hardware store job, and yes, many of them look like princess trucks. I have a 21-yo F150 and I wouldn’t even try.

    “You, uh, you sure about that 3rd pallet of concrete? OK.”

      It kinda sounds like they’re actually using the vehicle for what it was designed for, in that case.

      I’m not sure what your complaint is.

        I’m no expert, but my take was that the trucks are just luxury vehicles and not actually designed to handle that amount of weight. So they were buying expensive, showy vehicles, and trying to use them like actual work horses.

        Whether that is a result of lack of research on the owners perspective, or the manufacturer misrepresenting the vehicle is unclear to me though. Probably both.

          It sounds more to me that the person I replied to is talking out their ass, and these vehicles can do the work just fine.
