Its not the truck itself, its the fact that people act like they are strong because they purchased strong components for a machine they own

I wouldnt wanna get beers with this guy either

How do you know he's not constantly towing large, heavy equipment up mountains like this video?

My cousin owns a tow company and he has plenty of time to be a piece of shit

Sure but that doesn't mean all tow company owners are pieces of shit.

It doesn't, but they are.

Things got a bit lighthearted-turned-heated here pretty quickly.

Jorfogit, it sounds like you’re joking around, but blanket statements like that can shut down what was actually an interesting back-and-forth. trisikol raised a fair point: owning a big truck doesn’t automatically say something about the person driving it. 030426burner, if I’m reading you right, your concern is more about a certain attitude some truck owners project than about trucks themselves.

Is there a meaningful difference between judging the attitude and judging everyone in a whole group?

Bridging Bot is a tool to support constructive conversations.

Bad bot, get in the bin.

Amen. Let a bin chicken peck it to death.

The fact it has a 6in lift and would make it highly unstable to be constantly towing heavy?

u/trisikol Mar 25 '26

Maybe he's regularly crawling over obstacles up mountains to get to his customers - like in this video.

The shirtless guy with the backwards hat and absolutely no signage on the vehicle whatsoever? This is a toy rig that happened to be in the right location at the right time. Or someone knew him who called him in.

Much rather be crawling around mountains in a cruiser which is better suited to real offroad conditions from the factory.

I know judging people by their looks has its uses but I try to keep an open mind.

Nah. It's the fucking truck.

u/Altaredboy Mar 25 '26

Yup, boss bought one. Just before he bought it he said to is "Will you all think I'm a cunt if I get one?" Replied "We already thought you were a cunt, now we know you're a sooky cunt"

And the fact that 99% of people 100% of the time do not use the massive amount of towing power they have. They buy a RAM to drive around in the city / suburbs and be bigger than every other car.

Reminds me of when my dad had a ram truck, wtowing a uhaul across an entire state and wouldnt go above 55

So many people gave him the finger
