Almost nobody can actually have one of these. Also, maybe my unpopular opinion, it is possible to have hobbies involving cars (or motorsports) and also be opposed to the foundational reliance in them for day to day use -- granted this is likely not the case with someone who buys a super duty truck just for glam points.

Been around for ages. They're usually outfitted as small lorries, catering trucks, moving vans, small fire engines, ambulances, tow trucks, etc. It's pretty rare to see one as a consumer vehicle.

If you want to be even more outraged by American stupidity, look up “rolling coal”. In short, morons buy large trucks like this and purposely detune their emissions systems to run poorly, decreasing fuel efficiency and spewing soot laden exhaust. The only purpose to do this is to piss off liberals, apparently.

As silly as this thing is, it's not even remotely common. Pointlessly oversized trucks, sure, those are everywhere, but something this extreme is probably about as common as people driving an actual monster truck around on the road (I mean that's basically what it is, just with an oversized body instead of oversized tires)

Americas bloodiest wars have been fought in the middle east to secure oil,

Nah, neither our bloodiest nor to secure oil. Much more to do with neocon dickwaving imagining that they could impose their will on long-standing enemies, and a desire to feed the military-industrial complex and get some graft in as well.

In any case, I ask myself "What the fuck" when I see these monstrosities too. Luckily, they're not that common. I imagine they'll go the way of the Hummer in a few years. Just another form of conspicuous consumption.

I've seen a lot of trucks but never one of these IRL.

I'm actually 6' 4"

Small sedans are a bit uncomfortable sure but yeah absolutely wild. A little Nissan Kicks fits just fine

About 35% of us have been groomed to be cavemen.

I've only seen one of these at a car show. Just once.

This truck is almost explicitly a fleet vehicle for construction and the like. Pretending encountering this $150,000 work vehicle is a common occurrence is super disingenuous.

If you're gonna be scared of trucks, we least be scared of the ones you actually see.
