Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    The places around me will deliver it for quite cheap so the uh, 2 times in my life I need that I’ll just do that?

    How often does the average person haul tons of earthen materials around?

        Never a pickup truck, that’s for sure. Usually a tilt bed truck in my experience. Not something you’d generally want to drive unless you’re moving gravel.

        Professional delivery truck with a lifting bed to slide the earth off the back easily wherever you ask them to

        A specialized vehicle, not a crappy pickup truck

      In my case multiple times a year… plus construction material, furniture, motorcycles… In the end I need to haul heavy shit multiple times a month.

      Yet, people would take pictures of my SUV and call me an idiot with no respect for driving a big vehicle… With a 4 cylinders that has a fuel consumption that’s the same (or better) as AWD cars that these same people don’t criticize???

        I think its fair if people call you an idiot for buying an SUV to haul shit - there are far better vehicles for the job.

          Yes, better drive a truck instead of taking my trailer with me just when it’s necessary, so I take more space and have worse fuel economy 👍
