As an American used to driving older cars and running over things for fun, it is absurd how easily this vehicle was damaged. I have jumped my car, used it for demolition purposes, and like to bump into things simply to amuse myself, and none of those things have damaged it functionally, aside from breaking shock absorber mounts, denting the bumper, breaking headlights, knocking the suspension out of alignment, slightly bending the frame, and eliminating the control arm bushings. This is all from jumping the car, going over curbs, and ramming things daily. To anyone curious as to how I have maintained a driver's license, I would like to clarify that I do the majority of my driving in the state of Alabama.

The sad thing is that the real reason pickup trucks, SUVs and crossovers became so popular was because American car manufacturers started prudcing more of them and and heavily advertising them just to evade a 1978 tax that was meant to "to discourage the production and purchase of fuel-inefficient vehicles". The tax was meant to only affect passenger cars so an exemption was made for trucks, SUVs and minivans because back in 1978 these cars were mostly made for non-commercial uses, but mega-conglomeretes used this as a loophole to increase profits at the price of their consumer's fuel efficiency, the climate, and public safety.

[@NeverPr]

So it's just usa's fault..

[@user-nb6uy6wv8r]

And it got even worse about a decade ago when they tied fuel efficiency targets to vehicles' wheelbases, incentivizing vehicles, especially trucks, to get physically larger in order to lower their efficiency requirements.

[@Akranejames]

The thing with "big cars" as a whole is that all you need to do to understand why they spread like a plague is to drive on a road where they have hit the "10% or above" fraction of the vehicles. Quite simply, their height and bulkiness obstructs the view of lower, smaller cars quite a lot, and some drivers feel anxious driving around vehicles significantly more imposing than their own (for good reasons), so SUVs, trucks, and co create more drivers partly through being a nuisance on the roads unless you're driving one of them too.

[@aserta]

Actually, they're popular because they're just well enough made to fool people into thinking they're good vehicles, when in reality they're just well enough made to last the warranty. This then means they're extremely cheap to make. An estimate puts one of these trucks at a third of the market price.

It might have something to do with the wheel chock he left under the rear wheel. And not putting it in tow mode.

There will be instructions in your owner's manual to disable the parking brake and mechanically override the transmission into neutral for this exact reason.

That's just because its stuck in park, without fluid the transmission cant build hydraulic pressure and will not shift

No car can be tough when there is a computer telling it what to do. Just you wait until all these cars with those auto start/stop functions start to mess up.

[@derpnerpwerp]

​​@@king_acceler8755from what I can see online the OEM pan is made out of cast aluminum on the bottom. It looks like what he is saying punctured the pan was a copper or brass pipe.. whatever it was was strong enough to lift a 5000 lb truck off the ground, so yeah.. idk if this person expects the pan to be made out of cobalt or something. If half the trucks weight was being pushed up by that puncture point that looks to have a radius of about .5 cm.. thats about 20000 pounds per square inch of pressure.. and thats assuming the pipe wasn't hollow, which it looks to be.. for a hollow pipe, assuming the thickness was 1mm it would be about 50000-60000 psi which is about the pressure of a bullet

The only real tough trucks anymore are just commercial vehicles. I haven't seen an actually tough truck since the early 2000s that wasn't built for commercial duty. Before everyone cries that I just insulted them for buying a compensation machine. I own an F350 from the 90s. It's tough, but also, it's not even close to being tough compared to a simple actual straight truck. Modern trucks are just less useful SUVs or work vans for guys who want to show off they goto home depot for a 5 pack of drywall anchors once a year.

You actually nailed the historical market strategy for cars; crank out a bunch of bigger cars and then blame pedestrians for getting run over when the streets were originally meant for people instead of cars. Jaywalking as a concept was only invented so car manufacturers could talk smack about people who just wanted to walk places instead of driving everywhere.

Dunno if anyone else mentioned it but a lot of the issue with cars early on was that when they were introduced pedestrians kept walking like they always had and car drivers were fucking looney. In the US newspapers and car manufacturers introduced jaywalking and started shaming people for it to shift the blame from cars to pedestrians.

To be serious for a sec, those stats and visuals of how dangerous trucks are is actually terrifying. Especially in my case where my 17 y/o brother recently bought one and he’s been in two accidents in the past 6 months and is on good behaviour(1 accident in the truck where he backed into a car and 1 where he lost control in the rain and completely wrecked the car (this didn’t happen in the truck, it was his previous car but pretty scary, he was fine tho, he had air bags. The good behaviour is bc he got caught speeding 30km over the limit but he was able to keep his license as his job requires a car). I’ve seen the way that my brother drives and I know exactly how dangerous every time he’s on the road is. I live in an area with a lot of kids bc I live in the centre of an education hub and I always fear a small child running into the road as he’s always speeding and I fear the stopping distance.
