    These big yank tanks are nothing but penis extensions, they’re not used for work. People out bush all own Hilux or Navaras

      The jacked up ones, %100 agreed, but the large trucks designed for hauling are used exactly for that, hauling. I say this as a Toyota guy, I have a 1st gen tundra I use all time out here, but I’m not delusional and think it can do what the f350 we have can.

        A cab-over is much more practical 99% of the time. An Isuzu N-Series or Hino 300 has much higher GCM, more comfortable cabin and larger bed.

        They just aren’t fitted with V8-powered inadequacy compensators.

          Then what? You’re other vehicles? An n series or hino 300 is a baby lorri, not a truck.

          And while we are at it…those cabs are not more comfortable than our truck cabs, we have trucks just like them here and they’re fucking awful for long hauls.
