After publishing my comment my mind ran to cost projections, logistics, and limited workspace onsite. There are multiple factors that come together in making the decision to use super load hauling.

Like most things, it all comes down to $$$. Multiple pieces would require extra bracing ($), extra nuts and bolts ($), extra time for manufacturing ($), and extra time for on site storage and assembly ($$). When you have the ability to make one giant piece and get it to the site for, in reality, not much more than the…
Now I want to know if that rear dolly has independent steering (like hook-and-ladder style) either from the cab or from somebody at the back, or is just free-wheeling (not sure if that’s the right term). And I’m almost surprised they were allowed to run GV 152 (metric) tons down the roads (and that it weighed that…
This is the face he kept seeing:
One one level, you’re not wrong, but when you think about crossovers being turbo-4 jellybeans with slushboxes based on FWD commuter architecture, there’s a key distinction:
It’s a Ford SUV, it may not even need an under inflated tire coming apart on a hot day to do that!
FCA is gonna be soooo pissed when the Bronco can do a full barrel roll.

And I knew that scar on his cheek and his evil eye
He was big and bent and gray and old
And I looked at him and my blood ran cold

I’d give you a star, but the site won’t let me.
When are you guys gonna fix the comment section. This is just stupid that it’s been doing just the 3 dots for weeks now.
You can get all 50 if you’re willing to pay extra for the limited-availability designer shades.
Now we get 25 shades of gray.
I'll put a nickel on it still being faster than the comment section load time.
“Diesel generator.”
It likely makes sense for many backhoe type projects. Most of them need high hydralic flow to operate the booms and power use comes in spikes as you are digging in or lifting. Generally not huge power overall and they can be somewhat heavy.
I actually thought this was a fever dream that you photoshopped from your basement as a result of being confined in your house too long. Imagine my surprise to discover it is legit. I’m so thoroughly confused right now.
It’s not the final production year. Countaches were made up until 1990, and from late ‘88 to then, they were the godawful 25th Anniversary version.
I wouldn't be too sure; LA is the kind of place where a $3.5 million house has a ramshackle 1 car garage that was concerted into an inlaw unit.
