If you say so buddy. Oversize trucks are still almost exclusively for showing off and pissing off snow flake lefties or something, too bad these evs can’t do coal rolling eh?

This is the exact fucking polar opposite of an oversize truck. It's nearly identical in size to a compact pickup from the '90s.

Would you buy one if they could?

More Slates than Silverados will be powered by coal.

Hell no, I hate those monsters. They’re a traffic danger too.

Unlike those big wiener 2 ton oversized trucks obviously. I guess both can be equally as dangerous depending on the driver.
