Not only is it massive but it’s fully loaded an in a part of town where people tell people what to do, not do it themselves. This truck is pulled all the way in and still sticks out so far. This is dumb imo.

I know quite a few people with this exact combination and generally they have it because they need a crew cab for family and a long bed for either a 5th wheel trailer or just haul a lot of shit often. You don’t put up with driving one of these because you like how long it is.

My dad and brother in law (for now) have on. Yes, they do need the long bed and four doors. As well as the 4wd and dually axles. A small truck isn’t gonna tow a 37' fifth wheel in and out of sandy camp grounds.

The top of the line Tundra can only tow 10,500 lb, which pictured appears to be an HD Truck.
A base 2500HD can tow 14,800 lbs (goes up with a minor price bump)
F350/3500 trucks can town a hair under 30,000lbs
I think you’re underestimating “a lot” by A LOT!
1500 line trucks tow about 12000+ lbs
Also, crew cab = fantastic way to only own one vehicle - cheaper in some states/provinces than a car + truck. As for the long bed, it adds an extra foot and a half to the bed, which is great to throw more stuff back there (or longer) and the longer wheel base can make towing a little more comfortable.
I’ve grown up towing/hauling and still do from time to time. Hell, we moved a house last year on the foundation a few feet with an F550 and Ram 5500.

Isn’t this the answer to “give me the most truck money can buy, just because!” Crew cab long bed makes the insecure male think he looks manly just like wearing a tool belt when hitting the bars to meet those “females” they have seen on the innerweb.

We have a 3500HD Silverado that’s really good for towing a 5th wheel and carrying 3 people and a lot of things in the truck as well. It’s 100% useful based on what you’re doing with the vehicle.

That used to be what construction companies used to move crews and equipment/materials around. They were even fairly common in the military when I was in for the same purposes. The difference is that those were stripper work trucks with rubber floors and no radio. I’m not sure why you’d have a fancy truck in that configuration.

It really depends on the use. Dually’s are great for towing but again if you’re hauling rather than towing, you’re better off going single rears for better MPG and maneuverability. Duallys get limited after a while.

Counterpoint: A lot of parking spaces are awfully small nowadays (in the interest of maximizing lot capacity), even at stores like Home Depot where you’re far more likely to encounter people with good reason to drive one of these.

I love it! I can see some use for that too. If this guy or gal can afford to own and feed it there’s really no reason to call them out. I take this both ways too. We had to help a Patient’s family out at work the other day. Their Smart had a flat and needed help getting the car home. A coworker and one family member were really trashing this car. Is it practical? Not really out here. But I can’t judge. The owner bought it for a reason and they like it. No need to crap on it.
If people only bought exactly what is necessary this would be one boring place to be.

How do you know what the owner needs? Maybe he needs a full size bed and 4 real doors. Maybe he tows a boat or large trailer and requires the bed space?
This truck makes more sense than a $250,000 exotic car. More useful to more people most of the time.

We have a couple crew-cab long beds where I work in the summer. They’re huge, for sure, but definitely useful when you have to haul a ton of stuff and a crew. Last fall I drove one of them with a 20-foot dump trailer through downtown Winnipeg. Portage and Main is not a place you want to be with a unit that big. I had a very circuitous route because I was following google maps on my phone and it didn’t give me enough advanced warning on lane changes for turns in mid-day traffic. First time I gave app feedback was begging Google to implement a battleship mode.

I have a Crew Cab With the 8' Bed Dually, it is also my DD. I bought it because I cannot fit 6 horses, people and equipment in a Prius. You just don’t know, maybe this guy has a camper or toy hauler that just is not hooked up at the moment. I used to think that if someone had a truck like mine with a cover over the back they were not using it properly. It’s not until I realized I could get one that folds and I don’t have to shovel the bed or crawl into a wet bed to hook up. The long bed is needed for the 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch. Can you get away with the shorter bed, sometimes but it depends on the trailer, not just for overhang and turning, but weight too. Short beds don’t have the same capacities the long bed does. Trust me, we don’t just do I’ve these things for the hell of it, most have specific requirements that need to be met, and it fits the bill.

I think they invent uses on the lot & drive off with them because they feel useful. A Benz U500 is maybe %40 of that wheelbase & bests these things in just about every capacity. Isn’t this why people use trailers?

Whereas I don’t see the point of any less than an 8 foot bed.
When you’re loading 4 square bales of hay, some grain, milking equipment (two stands and a milking machine), buckets, and maybe a few baby goats... that 1.5 feet goes a long way. (And then there’s ~55 more goats, a few bales of straw, several more bales of hay, fence panels, and hay feeders on the trailer.)
Also, if you’re sticking a camper in the back of the pickup, an 8 foot bed makes it a more useful camper. (Yes, you could buy a van instead, but towing capacity on vans in the US isn’t as good.)

That particular truck? It’s probably a steel penis extension.
Elsewhere, though, trucks that big are absolutely practical if they’re actually being used.
The 8 foot bed means you get more storage.
I think I still know how to load 50 bales of hay onto the back of an 8 foot bed pickup (although probably not a modern one with higher bed sidewalls). The pattern at least on older trucks is, 4 bales on their side longitudinally ahead of the wheel wells, three on their side between the wheel wells, 4 more on their side behind the wheel wells and onto the tailgate for the first layer, then two flat transverse bales hanging over the bed sides repeated to the rear as high as you need to go, then as you near the end, switch back to longitudinal bales). First layer’s 11 bales, second layer and third layer are 14 bales each, then you switch to longitudinal to tie it together and offset a bit and get 8 bales, then you switch back to transverse for the last three bales to tie that all together, 50 bales. Then some twine or straps strategically used to keep the top bales from moving, and if you drive carefully, it all stays there.
You can also get a cap, and have that entire 8 foot bed as covered storage, I got very good with vehicular tetris loading the family pickup to go to goat shows, and when you’re talking about 1.5 feet of length, but ~5.5-6 feet of width, and ~4 feet of height... that’s a lot of cargo.
Finally, as far as cargo goes, if you have a camper in the back, an 8 foot bed gives you more options there. A small camper intended for 6.5 foot beds means you can shut the tailgate (useful when towing for multiple reasons). You could alternately have a bigger camper. (And, yes, you could just get a camper van, but towing capacities are rather low on the vans available in the US.)
The quad cab means your back seat passengers if you have some are more comfortable. I grew up in the back of extended cab pickups for long (as long as 14 hours in one go) trips, and it was pretty awful - no legroom in the ones with a rear bench, and incredibly awful ergonomics in the ones with sideways-facing jump seats. (And, the front seat passengers start losing cabin comfort with a regular cab, and even if I didn’t go on a trip, the extended cab worked better, because of the ability to put things like a 12 volt cooler in the back seat area.)
The longer wheelbase increases stability when towing - the tail can’t wag the dog as easily (and when you’re dealing with livestock trailers, you try to get the weight distribution right, but you’re dealing with living things that can move around, so the weight distribution can shift just because of them moving around).
And, the places you’d realistically take a vehicle like that if you’re actually using it properly are set up for large vehicles. Freeway rest areas, you’d just go into the trucks with trailers side. Fueling is the hardest part on gasoline pickups (unless a station has an RV gas pump, because RVs are bigger), diesels you can just go to the truck side. Livestock facilities are set up for big trucks because, well, yeah.
Also, if you’re not a dick, when you’re taking it to a place set up for cars... you park in the back of the lot if you can. (Granted, spaces where I am (a small city that acts as a rural hub) are generally long enough to take a long bed extended cab full-size, which helps, but no more.)
Now, there is a problem with vehicles like that... the height. Holy crap they’re tall nowadays, even 2WD pickups. And, let me tell you, that much height is not necessary for the real uses of pickups like that. They don’t need that much ground clearance, even the 4WD models - they’re far too big for any trail, 4WD is for getting unstuck on soft surfaces, so they barely need 6" of ground clearance, it’s not like they’re for mudding. Modern HD fullsize overall height kills their fuel efficiency, too, by making the drag area worse.

5 mpg is just for the fool that gets the gas version. I can get 11-16 fully loaded, up to 24 mpg unladen. My older truck did better without th DEF.

How would you haul 60 goats (maybe a dozen kids, 30 miniature goats, and 18 full size), 12 bales of hay, 4 bales of straw, 12 bags of grain, a milking machine and milk equipment, two milk stands, a tack box, a dozen or so buckets, 8 hay feeders, a bunch of fence panels, a 12 volt cooler, clothing for a week for three people, sleeping equipment for that week (air mattresses and/or cots, sleeping bags, pillows), and the three people?
You’re gonna end up with something pretty similar to that truck, plus a cap, and a trailer. In Europe, I’m not sure what you’d actually end up with - a Transit maybe, but the towing capacity is only 3500 kg (but more cargo can go into the van), which is higher than it is here IIRC. You may even have to go
bigger
to get something suitable to tow 10,000 lbs legally.

I love that you referred to her as the smallest panda ever haha. I know some people heading to Samford.

I know! That’s what first caught my attention. If it tells you anything my dads Cremax Tundra is behind it in that row and sticking out a bit and there is no way to see it.

Probably. Since they got a long bed odds are they use it often for as-advertised truck stuff, if they were going for the big-trunk-4wd-sedan odds are they’d have got the short box.

I just want to comment on how all of that chrome on the cab makes the bed look like its from junkyard.
