It's genuinely insane that anyone is allowed to put that on a road

In fairness I would have thought this looked cool... When I was 12.

However, it's almost a certainty that a "regular" truck could out perform this thing in every metric.

Its notoriously difficult to get the dual rear axles to provide a meaningful benefit to traction and even load capacity.

However, there will be a huge hit to economy, weight, acceleration, and handling.

In summary it would be an absolute pig to own.

I drive an old ass S10 and it gets better gas mileage and has a bigger bed than most of the newer bigger trucks coming out these days.

12

This is the key point. Most behaviour like this is pretty much identical to twelve year old kids wanting attention. I am going to guess anyone who wants to buy this has not received any real affection and attention from their parents.

It's because when you are 12, you still have a baby penis and no testicles, which is exactly the requirement for owning this truck.

These guys are narcissists and don't age past 12 emotionally.
