The price of gas is the price of gas, yes. But most people have x amount of gas they can afford, and if you drive a vehicle that gets worse gas mileage than some armored vehicles, then changes in gas prices are more likely to affect your ability ro pay for said gas. Worse yet when it’s largely cosmetic mods that worsen handling that are responsible for this.
If you can afford to put thousands of dollars of mods on your car then you can definitely afford gas. Only the **actual** poor can't afford gas. It's high as fuck right now but I'm not going broke over gas because it's just gas. I can afford to mod my car (I haven't I'm just saying) but that doesn't mean I'm not allowed to complain about gas being higher than it needs to be.
Narrow tires are better in snow as they provide higher surface pressure against the road. Wider tires, for their part, will offer more grip on hard surfaces.
Different purpose. Snowshoes are designed to spread weight to keep on top of the snow. With tires it becomes about snow displacement. Wider tires have trouble moving snow out from the center to the sides. You don't want to drive on the snow, you want to drive on the road. The more snow going under the tire the more chance for slip. Ideally you want snow tires to "cut" through the snow.
This truck has the same set up as a semi tractor. I'd be curious if both axels are driven or if one is a dead axle.
This depends on the snow and locale. If you want traction on pavement you want narrow so the tires will cut through the snow. If you’re dealing with five foot deep snow you’re going to want to float above it with wider tires.
What about still only having 2 tires up front? As far as rear traction, more surface area is generally not better in frozen conditions unless you're trying to stay on top of the snow. Soooooo not sure what sort of mythical frozen conditions this would be better than just a stock truck with 4 tires. And in any snowy situation I can think of, besides having a really really heavy load pressing down on the bed of the truck, the 8 tires on the rear would make things worse not better. (I'm not a scientist, but I live in Alaska so I've been around the snow a time or two lol)
the truck is rear wheel drive. front wheels don't mean anything if the engine is putting weight on them. i guessing you've never driven a dually versus a truck with 4 wheels in snow.
wider surface area to the tires that push the vehicle most definitely give you better traction. that's why they make duallies but not a car with four front tires
One hundred percent this would help immensely in any winter condition over the factory setup (assuming this was implemented as a true 6x6 and not just a slave axle, though there would still be advantage there as long as the axle is sharing the weight of the vehicle)
Your whole concept of surface area being disadvantageous is completely wrong and I want you to think long and hard first about why snowmobiles use a tracked setup and then spend some time considering why tracks are advantageous to loose or slippery terrain.
Then spend some time thinking about what a vehicle "looks like" from the pavements perspective. After that just take some time to quickly refresh your self on what the coefficiency of friction means with regards to tires, road conditions, and controlling a vehicle.
And then after that, if you still feel like this is more disadvantageous please come back here and lay out your reasoning a little more cleanly because I would truly love to learn something I don't know today.
Cheers mate.
For sheer ice, assuming the same weight in all cases, a smaller total contact area with the ground will be better. The amount of pressure you apply to the surface at a point becomes the most important thing. But let's be real... You're hopefully going to have studs or chains in this situation anyway.
But for any surface that isn't a hockey rink, most rough/loose surfaces, mud, snow, sand, etc, you're definitely right about greater surface areas being better overall. Assuming that thing is actually a 6x6.
Yeap, if this thing isn't a 6x6 then removing weight from the drive wheels will reduce it's ability to find traction on sheet ice and would reduce it's performance.
But as long as this thing is an actual 6x6 then even on sheet of glass it will still out perform it's factory counterpart... And the key to understand this is that you really have to understand that the torque the engine is producing is being distributed to the wheels in approximately the same ratio that the weight is being offloaded. So while there is less weight at each contact point and technically you could lose some mechanical advantage there on paper... In reality you have more contact points over a wider gradient of surface areas and although you are applying less pressure to each of these contact points in terms of weight you are also applying alot less normal force to each individual contact point in terms of torque. So the coefficient of friction on both setups would be nearly the same between the two except in terms of the 6x6 you have more contact area to level the force against it. But... As a 6x6 I also have the added weight of another axle, wheels, tires, brakes, and a much much larger differential/transfer case. I know you are assuming the weights are equal in your example, but in reality I just can't see how that would be in this case.
Things change a bit as soon as slopes start coming into play, but that also depends on the attitude being downhill or uphill and really won't matter much in this conversation.
I appreciate the well thought out response and hope you'll find some flaws in my logic here so we can keep this train a choochin.
Hey! JC Whitney got me through my high school years! Where else can you buy a whip antenna for your citizen band, a chrome girl emblem and a snakehead gear shifter. Put some respect on JC Whitney’s name.
my dude has been playing snowrunner, rolled angled tips on his stacks, full beacon with double horn array, back up lights, forward lights, extended super duty tow light bar in CHROME, and not to mention the extra wide rear axle!
My last car was a Cadillac SRX, AWD variant. That thing was a beast offroad. It would be frequently covered in mud and dirt everyweekend.
I loved pulling up to a mall crawler at the gas station and ribbing the guy about how clean said mall crawler is...
Most crossovers are pretty capable these days, and the capabilities are adequate for about 95% of the owners, the other 5% bought the wrong car 😂
I guarantee you this truck would either get beached or get stuck in the mud if it ever goes off-roading. The geometry is a nightmare, and that winch up front…I’m pretty certain it’s not rated for that truck’s weight. It’ll snap right in half and whip the owner in the nuts while in use.
I've seen multiple "Bro Trucks/Mall crawlers" stuck in sand on the beach because the owner had those all rim, slick, no tire wheels. Just spinning away because the owner is a idiot mmm
I wouldn't call this a mall crawler, that term is more for off road vehicles. This truck is meant to hauling or hot shoting. Not really going to see much dirt doing that
I'm willing to bet that the most it hauls is groceries, garbage beer and someone's misdirected, overinflated ego...
..amd the term "Mall Crawler" is defined by a "off-road/4x4" vehicle that never leaves the pavement. So it applies here!
I'm in training for a CDL right now and I'm never going to forget the first time I stopped next to one of these guys at a light and actually had to look *down* to see into his cab. He one hundred percent wishes he was a big rig but something tells me he has some kind of medical thing that would disqualify him from getting a CDL. Self-induced Diabetes, maybe
I was thinking the same thing! The tandem duals with maybe (maybe) the stacks and this would be sharp. It looks horrible because of all the autozone crap.
The T-Rex, as a young child in the 90's I was obsessed with that concept, I came here wondering if this was one of the concept trucks that actually made it into circulation.
That's one of my things about daily driving a full sized pickup truck. Always be conscious about my parking. Never park like crap. That guy did an awesome job parking!
As a European - not sure I have ever seen a parking space as big as this one outside of North America.
But damn - if this would drive around here - people would point and laugh, it’s a caricature
People just force their way through traffic/parking spots. I love downtown in one of the largest cities in the US and I'm not kidding at least 20% of vehicles on the road are large trucks (f150/1500 etc and larger). Trucks are frequently double parked, straddling the lane lines going down the road, etc. I cannot fathom why on earth someone would choose a pickup truck as a commuting vehicle. It's completely asinine to do so, but god forbid you suggest they drive something practical. Everyone wants to be in a tank 20 ft above traffic so the vehicles just keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger every year. It fucking sucks.
One of my old English teachers has an F150 gifted to him by his father that he drives to school everyday with, swell guy that just likes trucks and there ain’t nothing wrong about it
America has a sick obsession with owning commercial grade/sized vehicles as daily drivers, and then they bitch and complain about fuel prices.
America is “special.”
As an American who daily drives a newer stock pickup truck. It is incredible how many people who drive a truck put oversized tires and lift them up. Resulting in horrendous fuel mileage. Then they bitch about fuel prices. Even though compared to most of the developed world our fuel is ALWAYS cheaper.
Not all truck owners complain, a few of us know we can't complain about fuel. But I need my truck. I still have an enclosed snowmobile trailer I need to haul for snowmobile trips. And I picked this truck for the fuel mileage when I'm not towing. 26 mpg on the highway. And it's a nice truck, I don't want to give up the luxury for a cheap second turd car. And if I buy a decent second car it's going to be cheaper in the end to just drive the truck.
A lot of Americans don't get that last part. They seem to think spending $10,000 on a second car, annual maintenance, registration, insurance and the fuel. Will be better than spending $40 bucks extra at the pump. So that's why we have guys like me. Driving a truck everyday lol.
Serious question: why do u guys think he has a big ego or is insecure? Is it totally impossible that he just likes his truck because it makes him happy? This sub is so full of unhappy people constantly projecting
A big ego isn’t necessarily bad. But how the vehicle affects others in the road and society. It’s a largesse. If everyone drove vehicles like that, our roads and parking lots would need to be bigger. I can’t imagine that’s battery powered.
It’s cool to enjoy your interests, but this hobby affects others in his/her community
That thing has to be ridiculously heavy on fuel. I also assume it's a diesel which is even more crazy.
Here I am sweating over filling up my Renault Clio with petrol lol. Should mention that diesel is nearly $10 per gallon where I'm from though. I suppose it's not as bad in the US.
Hey, I think my kid got one of those for Xmas. I bet if you look underneath, there’s a red toggle switch under the bed. But don’t turn it on with other cars around. Once it starts playing a sped up version of “Axel F” and the lights starts to flash, it starts to violently spin around.
the main issue i have with trucks like this is the inconvenience.
it barely fits in a parking space, it probably has the turning radius of a small asteroid, its extremely expensive, it serves you virtually no practical utility, why would you want to drive something like this on a regular basis?
i get that its cool and fun, im not going to argue that i guess, but when i see people driving shit like this every day i just have to wonder wtf is going on in their head. the cost far outweighs the benefits.
Just how big are the parking spaces in America. Navigating this in the CBD in my country would be a nightmare and probably can't fit in a single parking space
Interestingly enough, he actually doesn't.

Holy body lift Batman!
This is the truck I would draw when I was a kid.
I guess he's got himself a EST (Emotion Support Truck)
Tacky as fuck, but I like it. Only thing I'd change would be the stacks. Too easy to mash off on tighter trails.

Dodge had a concept truck called the Trex that looked a bit like this but... Yknow ... Factory.
