>>1987400What about 500kg of bricks? Or cement?The bike is cool for maybe 100kg of cargo? And only if you live on flat lands.
>>1987437ok, but has anyone who bought an f150 ever actually carried 500kg of bricks?
>>1987438Well the F150 is a normal work truck, same as the Toyota Hilux we use here in europe. 80% of them are used as workhorses here to tow and transport shit so yeah i think they use them.
>>1987400one of those goes 80 miles an hour and has air conditioning and heated seats
>>1987454If the Yokier is hit hard enough, it will briefly have all of those features.
>>1987440>Well the F150 is a normal work truck, same as the Toyota Hilux we use here in europe
>>1987437I've genuinely never seen a pickup truck transport anything at all, let alone 500kg of stuff.
>>1987542I've never seen a pickup hauling 500kg of anything because I don't use the metric system
>>1987542Why are we all so retarded ameribros. Why do people commute to work in f150's and jeeps?
>>1987400>Check and mate carbrainsSo what's bikebrain? Mental retardation?
>>1987542Bullshit.I live in central europe and wherever you look you see pickups used for heavy duty work all the time. I myself use a pickup at work. Maybe 5% of all pickups here are used as a lifestyle vehicle. I cant believe that no american is using his 500hp behemoth to actually do something with it. It would be pretty retarded to just commute or do groceries with it.
>>1987557something something lower taxes for transport cars, so producers made fake transport cars and so on
>>1987567>I cant believe that no american is using his 500hp behemoth to actually do something with it.>It would be pretty retarded to just commute or do groceries with it.you have no idea how bad it actually is here
>>1987574>>1987567Because it's fun and gasoline is cheap, I don't understand why people can't understand this. F-150s basically took over the role of full size rear wheel drive cars like Chevy Caprice, Olds 88, and Ford Crown Victoria (same dimensions and weight). But now they can tow boomer campers and have 4x4 for the snow. They're also high up which is nice for Boomer knees, this is the same reason why small crossovers are replacing small cars in Europe as best sellers. Majority sold are going to be the smaller engine ones with 4cyl/V6 Turbos and 300-350hp which get better mpg and emissions than any older car.Modern Ford F150 is unironically a engineering marvel at being a all in one car. The new Hybrid models get better gas mileage than small cars from the 90s
>>1987557Why wouldn't they? There's no reason *not* to buy a truck unless you're too poor or live in a shithole that hasn't updated the roads in 800 years
>>1987400You do know weight and volume are different things, right?
But my motorcycle doesn't fit in the back of my Yokler XL
>>1987400can i fit a snowmachine in the yokler?
>>1987579>>1987597I get the point of big cars as utility vehicles but big ass pickups arent fun at all. Slow, weird dynamics if you carry no load in the back, corners like shit, pretty unstable in emergency situations,... Like EVERY other type of car is more fun than 5000lbs of useless weight.I recently drove a Golf GTD and it was, although its just a small hatch tons of fun.
>>1987708>but big ass pickups arent fun at all.They're fine. I don't drive for fun.
>>1987708>pretty unstable in emergency situationsYou might tip over yeah, but in a pickup the world is your crumple zone. Overall they're far safer than any other sort of car
>>1987454>80 milesSo it teleports you through the traffic? In reality it will crawl the same 30 km/h as a bike.
>>1987597Because places hasn't *updated* the roads are actually the places to live in unlike the shitholes like most of the murica.
>>1987688>buying a motorcycle to carry it in a carHow did you manage to get a license, retard?
>>1987722I'd rather be in a truck then
>>1987727Yes, because you're fat stupid and ignorant.
>>1987728That's right. And there's nothing you can do about it.
>>1987440We use vans like normal people in Europe
>>1987438>moving the goalpostsAnother /n/igger who doesn't understand basic concepts like mass and volume can't just tuck tail and leave when btfo
I'm a paleontologist. I need it for science.
>>1987574What percentage of trips spent hauling or towing would soothe your asspain about truck ownership? Every truck owner I know uses it for home projects-- lumber, seed and soil, tools and equipment, furniture, etc. They also often help out friends and relatives who need hauling but don't own a truck.But they also either don't bother to own a second small car, or leave it for wife/kids while they use the truck as the primary vehicle for getting around. So any given day you might see the truck empty, but that doesn't mean it's never used.
>>1987716>You might tip over yeah, but in a pickup the world is your crumple zone.Not if everyone drives a truck. In the US this first mover advantage seems to have completely eroded by now. So the net effect after that first arms race round is higher fuel consumption and less safety.
>>1987812>This made complete sense in my mind
>>1987722Not sure where eurotards get the idea that every single road is bumper-to-bumper traffic 24/7. Even if it was, I'd rather sit in traffic in a nice comfy seat with air conditioning and a radio and cupholders than standing on a fucking bike in the rain
>>1987563On the pavement
>>1987567I mostly see them used to salt the roads during winter, for actual transport, anything else is used
>>1987400how about you just put an IBC tank on castor wheels.
>>1987440>hilux>we>in europeSven Burgersson from the state of Stockholm here, this is indeed true. Praise god.
Why do people buy cars they know guzzles gas like it's nothing, then complain when the price of gas goes up? You made your bed, now lie in it retard.
>>1988700>Harming the poor & middle class "is actually really good," says local eco/n/omist
>>1988706nta but I wonder why as well. my brother wanted a smol hatchback with 25 mpg, but his wife was adamant that they NEEDED a ginormous mini(sic)van with 11mpg and now they're always complaining about the cost of gas. they live under a mile from stores and they have a toddler with a stroller but you can put that stuff in an econo box, probably safer too. its just the mental illness that people get about "WHAT IF I FIND A BROKEN DOWN FRIDGE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NEED TO SAVE IT"
>>1988707>a ginormous mini(sic)van with 11mpgYou need to be 18 to post here.
>>1988715when you grow up you'll understand why gas mileage is a good thing
>>1988732No minivan is getting 11 MPG unless your minivan is a Suburban 2500 or Excursion.
>>198874919 whateverAny modern vehicle with a mpg starting with “1” is an atrocity
>>1988753Chrysler Pacifica: 82 mpg (hybrid)Toyota Sienna: 36 mpg (hybrid)Kia Carnival: 22 mpgHonda Odyssey: 22 mpg
>>1988753>why isn't a 4200lb 280hp van getting the same gas mileage as a 70hp 2000lb mirage there's a big difference between 11 and 19 retard
>>1988755>>1988759Bianchi Infinito: infinity mpg
>>1988774Yeah but then you have to ride a bicycle and that's just not respectable
>>1988797if we're going to play respectability politics I've got a lot of other reasons to lose that have nothing to do with my choice of transport
>>1988798I didn't say anything about politics
>>1987400Pedal power + limited stamina vsSeveral hundred lb ft of torque capable of moving all your tools and materials at 10x the speed all day every day without ever getting tired and losing power
>>1987400I can haul the same amount as an F-150 across 50 miles. By the way, I'll need 1 month of your money.
imagine paying 11000+ for that stupid bike, this is why you all lost your union jobs to chinks who build shit like that for 500
One can go to another state. The other who rides that cargo bike will die on the freeway. You stupid cunt fuck you
Welcome to Europe. Now, give way.
>>1987400basedid love to have a vehicle like that
>>1990085i love these little vansid love to have onepeak practicality (for a car)
>>1987579Better yet the RWD sedan was killed by CARB emissions, the same thing that made trucks huge. About to make them even larger too lmao.
>>1988753Going to get even worse emissions when Exhuast filters get put on gas engines.
>>1987400
cargo bikes for short-med distance intercity trips doing light delivery or trades that require small amounts of tools. medium pickup trucks and vans for bigger deliveries and trades that require bigger tools or delivery of glass/wood etc, that's all anyone needs.

>>1987731Would you ever throw 500lbs of manure in your van for your yard and garden?Would you ever throw that deer you just shot into your van?>>1988700>complain when the price of gas goes up? You made your bed, now lie in it retard.Price of gas didn't go up for no reason. Price of gas goes up because Biden admin. limits new drilling and exploration as well as starting two new wars. Our gas prices in cancuckistan are more than 50% tax anyways
>>1987762Get out in the sun more!
>>1992473I've throw 1000 kg of dirt into the back of my van. I've also transported plenty of deer and moose at the back of my van. It's a fucking work van. I can hose it off afterwards with a pressure washer. Why would I care what's in there? I'm assuming you wouldn't transport manure on the bed of a F150 and then not hose it off. The same works for vans. Vans are objectively superior to trucks in almost every single use case. You have more space and it's covered from both niggers and weather.
>>1992490>I like carrying gross stuff in the same cabin that I sit inI'll stick with a pickup
>>1992491>he thinks the cargo space isn't separated from the cabin in vansWay to expose yourself retard>inb4 I need muh body on frame, four wheel drive and payload capacityMy van is body on frame, has both four wheel drive options and versions that are homologated all the way to 7000 kg gross weight, with ~4500 kg in payload. The F350 super duty gross weight is a measly 4500 kg.For work purposes vans are superior to pickups in almost every single possible use case. And in the few use cases where you'd want a pickup you can build one on top of the van chassis with way more payload and bed space than on an American pickup truck.
>>1992493>Way to expose yourself retardLook in a mirror, Yuropeon>inb4 I need muh body on frame, four wheel drive and payload capacityYeah I do>For work purposes vans are superior to pickups in almost every single possible use case. NopeIt's so obvious you seethe when anyone has anything nicer than what you have. Grow up
