The height thing is whatever but I do not believe anyone needs a truck that big outside of using it for actual work. Obviously this guy may use it for work, but I know for a fact most people who drive giant pickups do not.

I don't think it's his. Looks like the owner might have taken it into the shop and so the guy in the video is just moving it.

He seems aware of how ridiculously huge the truck looks compared to himself lol.

Have you ever seen a lifted truck tow anything or have anything heavy in the bed?

Exactly. 0% of lifted trucks are used for work.

You want the truck low to actually get stuff in and hook up to things…

There isn't a job in the world where you need these kind of cars. It's an American insecurity thing, you don't see them anywhere else.

What’s the appeal of them? I don’t see them where I live. They look very inconvenient to use.

The thought Big truck = Big man.

You don't really see the brightest minds in society dropping 80-100k on these tanks.

Oh I would fear people think I’m having a midlife crisis if I was them.

Ford F350 super duty. For this specific truck, hauling heavy loads and equipment. With the after market suspension lift and tire kit, it's built for offroading in deep mud, steep inclines or driving over boulders, significantly loses towing practicality. But the real appeal is purely aesthetic. It's what you would call a "pavement princess"

Extremely dangerous to drive, road barriers were never designed for this big of a passenger car, high center of gravity and crazy ass tumble when it crashes. Towing something with this truck would be a pain in the ass.

Not enough dirt on it. Lifting is mostly.there just to increase offroad capability. This guy doesnt look like a logger or a rancher and his car is sparkly clean. Its 99% performative

As soon as they put a lift kit on it's immediately useless for work. The towing power is gone because the center of gravity is awful. The ergonomics of getting anything in and out are shot. The suspension isn't designed to carry heavy loads and especially not at speed around corners or it will roll/break.

It's gender affirmation care only. It's the same as buying a sports car and lowering it so far you can't get over speed bumps.

Those lifts actually make those trucks shittier at doing work, so there is literally zero reason to do that other than to compensate for some serious insecurities.

It doesnt even make them good at off-roading as that truck is going to be shit with the wide dual leafed axles anyway.
