As an American, I apologize for this. However, where I live in NY a truck is basically required. My drive way is basically an ice luge, and if I don't put my truck in 4wd low I can't make it out to the road.

Europeans should not need these vehicles.

I'll accept 4WD as a requirement, but why does it need to be a large truck? Wouldn't an AWD car, like a Subaru or VW, work just as well?

Are non-lesbians allowed to drive Subaru 4WD vehicles?

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

My truck has a AWD mode, and maybe it's different with other vehicles, but my truck will just slide out on the driveway if I'm not in 4wd low.
