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

Why though. What's even the utility of something like this?
Surely, surely... the inconvenience and cost of having something like this in your life must outweigh that of renting a trailer for those off times when you need to haul something.
That thing just looks so stupid and huge and bad.
Car guy here, let me explain!
Nah I'm just fucking with you, I don't have an explanation. This doesn't look fun to drive on roads and despite having more ground clearance than something like a Toyota RAV4 and 6 wheel drive and everything, I wouldn't take it off road either. So much distance between the first and second axle. Damn thing looks like it could bend pretty easily if you drive it the way one ought to drive an off-road vehicle with a Hellcat engine: Like a trophy truck. Because trophy trucks are built to take that beating and this is almost certainly not. So you can crawl slowly with your 900 horsepower tuned Hellcat and watch some dude in a Wrangler pass you at a fifth of the price and a third of the engine size because smaller and lighter is an advantage when going off road over heavy and clumsy usually.
😆
Yeah dude, it just makes no sense whatsoever except as a dick extender. Such nonsense.
Also you could actually buy a dick extender that's actually amazing to drive on road for that money AND have enough money left over to buy something that's better than this off road
And probably a literal dick extender, too! 🥒
