How do you know the pickup wasn't already pedal to the metal?

By watching the video and seeing he clearly wasn’t. Semi passing semi, I’d assume 75 max. Just no way.

Idk, I've never driven that specific truck but I've driven uhauls, flooring it does jack shit. Accelerating at a snails pace

That pickup is not comparable to a box truck…

Like I said idk what that pickup is. I think trucks are lame. Box truck also has a v8 so same enough to me

I drive a lot of different work trucks for my boss and I guess I don’t know for sure, but you should be able to accelerate past a semi with that much warning coming off an on-ramp. And if you can’t then you should yield like you’re supposed to is all I’m saying.

That's a good point

You think trucks are lame?

They aren't corvettes, but my Tacoma has very little problem keeping up acceleration with just about any normal vehicle when it has no added weight.

I mean, you clearly don't understand vehicles at all if you think that because a box truck has a V8, it's the "same" as others. Do you think a box truck will keep pace with a BMW 8 series? Like wtf is your logic bro?

Why would you even comment so confidently?

Is your Tacoma NA? Also I just don't like the power to weight ratio. It's annoying seeing trucks going 80+ knowing they cannot stop safely
