So my station wagon is a truck now? .... mine can haul about four shopping carts worth of stuff.

My Merc A180 hatchback can carry more than what's in this picture. Truly pathetic.

Never knew the swaticar was so small it could fit in a hatchback, guess you learn something knew everyday

Cars can’t haul bags of soil! Soil is heavy!

If you have a truck and are doing gardening, you drive it to a landscaping supplier and they’ll drop soil in your truck bed with a backhoe by the cubic yard.

…the fuck is taking their truck to Walmart and buying tons of soil in plastic bags?! You’re defeating the entire purpose of having a truck.

But if you bought a Cybertruck, mayhap you don’t understand what trucks are for. Which is forgivable - there’s a lot of that going around these days.

If you need just 8 bags worth, I’d rather get 8 bags and not deal with the hassle of loose soil. Not going to judge them for that. But to be impressed by it is silly; I’ve fit this into my sedan no problem.

I could fit that and more into my Accord coupe's trunk, and have done so several times. This definitely is not the flex he thinks it is.

Yeah like…I wouldn’t even need to put my back seat down to fit that in my fucking golf.

These people not only know anything about trucks, but they also lack knowledge of automobiles in general. Which explains why they thought a cybertruck was a good idea.

I wouldn't be surprised, if putting the soil in the trunk directly would brick the cybertruck.

25

I'm sure I could transport that with my Bolt EUV if I folded the seats down. Might not even have to.

Is that soil? The bags say cow manure. (I don't know a hell of a lot about gardening. Maybe that's functionally the same thing??)

Also they're at Lowe's.

Oops, you’re right but it’s still the same scenario. The manure is just a little more expensive and your truck bed smells for longer.

They are bragging that their truck can handle the same amount of weight as a... Shopping cart

59

So this dude is impressed his car can carry the same weight as a fucking shopping trolley?

LMAO

The fact that people think they need a truck for this is the reason there's so many trucks on the road

Yeah seriously, a hot hatch or even the trunk of your average sedan could fit this.

In addition to what the other comment said, cost of multiple deliveries for these goods throughout the year would also be cheaper than buying a truck vs a sedan.

Bro can fit one shopping cart worth of stuff in his car.

A full shopping cart? I can haul that much in the back seat of my Nissan Leaf. And I don't mean the rear cargo area, I mean the back seat.

25

He also put the kid first in the trunk, then loaded all that stuff after it. Typical.

Diogenes: Behold, a truck! (posts just the shopping cart holding the bags)

16

I can fit that in the trunk of my sedan for crying out loud.

Cybertruck owners love to think their vehicle can do "truck things" without even having a basic understanding of what those things are.

16

FFS. I've hauled more than that in the back of my Nissan versa hatchback. Most recently 30 bags of mulch.

16

Well this is better than the 2 bags from the other post, but I STILL fit at least that much in the trunk of my Honda fucking civic.

I can imagine him bringing the child with him everywhere he goes to prove he’s not a virgin. It never works. Everyone just assumes he’s an uncle, foster parent, etc.

I would’ve fit it in my coupe. It doesn’t even have folding back seats.

I transported a Christmas tree in a NC1 Miata a couple times. Got a few looks. :)

1

Miss, an old, dingy Volvo 740 wagon can carry twice that in its cargo compartment. Could that poor excuse of a vehicle...?:

Carry already-heavy containers containing even heavier liquids

Tow heavy commercial machinery from point A to point B

Haul heavy earth materials like rocks/cement and actual soil

Transport up to five morbidly obese yet muscular construction workers without its frame giving up

a fucking flatbed moped seems like a more useful vehicle in basically every way

Yet the stiff suspension of the Chevy Silverado 2500HD is barely tolerable over bumps and potholes until there's about 1000lb of payload.

The fact that Merle felt the need to post this says much more than the post itself.

I had a 1992 VW GTI that routinely transported a 4-piece drumkit (in separate road-cases), associated cymbals/hardware), a 4x12 guitar cab, a 6x10 bass cab, 2 heavy tube amp heads for said cabs, and 4 guitars all in the rear with a comfortable passenger in shotgun. I never considered having to sag brag.

I could do this much in my fucking peugeot 106...
