I've used huge trucks for bush work. Like we're talking going mudding just to get to work. This line of work basically put me in the position that is the subject of commercials that try to convince suburban dads that they need a huge truck in case one day their family goes on a fictional camping trip to the middle of a swamp.

Anyways, you know what I learned? These fucking things suck at off-roading.

  • They have shit visibility. You sometimes need to get out of the truck to see around corners, especially if you're cresting steep hills
  • They have a dangerously high center of gravity (I saw a bunch of coworkers roll theirs) that is only amplified if you carry large loads in their truck beds
  • Over-complicated features like traction control will actually kill your power if you're doing some technical driving, which will make you get stuck when you don't need to

There's no good reason for these pieces of shit to exist.
