U.S. military bases used be far away from civilian areas. Urban sprawl has since spread out to the very edges of the bases.

why aren’t there battle drones? also couldn’t something less than lethal to humans be good ordinance against drones? Sand? bean bags? a net? fireworks?
ICE cars catch fire at a higher rate than EVs do. So there’s that.
“to say that no one needs a truck capable of carrying large things”
I still have no desire for any full size truck currently on the market. They are just too big, too blind, too tall to reach over the bed rails, and way too fucking ugly. They all look like cinder blocks with wheels, especially when the owner buys them in that wet-bar-of-clay gray. The most boring thing to happen to…
I always assumed there was this sizing up going on between trucks. A complex amalgam of size, horsepower, lift, tow mirrors, price, sound, wheels (number, size and width), speed and “what they’re hauling”.
Putting the Imola in immolation.
Yet another cool French EV that will not be sold here in the US.
Yes, pretty much this. M and AMG badges are pretty much “big dick energy” now. They’re there just for people to show off.
I don’t hate it. At all. This shows promise. Which is not something I’ve really thought about anything Renault in a long time.
Nobody in a one-ton pickup looks down at me or my truck when at a gas station. Even the rich bros don’t find it fun to drop 200+ (Canadian) dollars to fill the tank. <Maverick owner that gets 30mpg, tows a 2500lb boat every weekend, and still laughs at the hilariously small 4 foot bed that’s only good for Costco…
My Focus ST got totalled and I was given a Ram 1500 as a loaner. I thought it’d be a good experience to see why people love these things.
The correct truck is the one you rent from Home Depot for $20 a day. UNLESS you actually use them for work(not office work) or farm.
Oh my gods no.
James May has been talking about this for a decade.
ND because there are no pictures of the engine bay. When you have stupidity on the outside, you can guarantee stupidity on the inside.
Or rather, un-pimp the auto?
Outliers do exist, but if we’re talking about...dare I say 95% of the population with trucks never really needing them even 25% of the year, I’d say a generalized statement is warranted.
“ but to say no one does?”
Tell BMW now so that they can tune the suspension properly. British car mags have been complaining about this kind of tuning in sporting German cars for decades, but it’s only gotten worse.
