Australia has a group of men who think they look cool and are obviously buying them. The rams etc that is.
So the actual useful vehicles like the one in the link are now trying to put on their pantaloons, to pretend they're big trucks too.
Except, the mistake is, the utes are excellent as small to mid size vehicles. Making them all large like this erodes a valuable vehicle size. That's even beside the safety aspect.
I really do miss mini trucks. I had an 86 Toyota 4x4 that I could do anything with. It sure wasn’t fast but it did everything I asked of it at 300,000 miles.
