Anything but a van. The state of trucks taken from another truck.

See it is like a van, but somehow...... worse.

Are we on the verge of stretch limousine trucks which are just SUV stretch limos but with a pathetic-looking, tiny-ass vestigial bed at the rear?

  It's like Gilette "Engineers" adding another blade.

  That's just Kid Rock's tour bus.

- That is the perfect term for all these "trucks" with short-ass beds.
  
  Vestigial bed, lmao

This has to be a crew hauling gooseneck ready truck, for some sort of industrial crew work...

OP did it have a gooseneck hitch?

- Not my picture, but no this something you see around my parts. Its normally sold to Hutterite colonies (they used to use vans) and the back generally just holds goods they buy or sell.

Ferd F-teenthousand, let's go

Christ, and here all I want is a small cargo van and Ford decides to discontinue selling the Transit Connect here, while in Europe they are starting to sell an electric version of the same thing.

16
- Yeah, can't have small trucks anymore ether. But this thing is available?

  Right!?!?! Check out the Hilux Champ they are selling in Thailand. I would kill for an electric version of that for daily driving in the city and whatever DIY/hardware store needs I may have. I don't need to hall heavy things just awkward and large things.

That's not a truck; that's a limousine with truckly aspirations.

  I feel like I lost and won at the same time.

It wouldn’t be American if you weren‘t able to take your tank to grocery shopping on your flatbed. Freedom baby

- This is in fact not American.

Hey we have one of these in my old town too.

A van could transport the people, but what about his emotional support refrigerators? They won't fit in a van.

I'm looking for a car-truck-van-suv-limo-4x4.

  The boat is mine. The boat is MINE!

If I ever get a terminal illness I am going to spend the rest of my days slashing the tires of every overside truck I see.

- Easier to clip the valve stems.

- Eh good chance they will not notice and these things are over $100k so likely the monetary aspect will be shrugged off.

  You underestimate the rate of deficit spending some men in the country engage in for their gender affirming vehicles...

  You say that till your having it towed for a flat tire at every corner...

  So what should I do? I want to ruin these people.

- Valve cover off, small rock in valve cover, valve cover back on.

There is a company in the city I live that has stretch limo F150's and Hummers you can rent out for shit. Imagine what you're seeing in this image but 2 to 3 times longer.

That genuinely looks like an early ai generation of a truck, is that where they got this idea?

Why is this bad and van is good?

-1
- Vans are more fuel efficient, smaller and lighter than trucks while generally performing most/all of the same duties just as well if not better

  I didn't know vans were particularly fuel efficient. That's interesting. They're rounded but their faces are so flat, it seems like a lot of surface area.
  
  Does that include US marketed inventories as well?

- Space, cost, fuel use, visibility.
