In Australia we don’t have big silly “trucks” like Americans do. And we don’t really call them trucks.
This is what’s considered “tough as” down under. Impressed yet?

so is this like the equivalent of a US bro-truck or is this more functional?

I, for one, am not really impressed.

That’s actually tough, bro trucks pound the mean paved streets of suburban America and never traverse terrain greater than a sloped driveway.

even a bro truck is more truck than this. I dont understand the trucks being in quotes.

Maybe you’re not familiar with Collingwood but it’s right in the city of Melbourne ;)

We don’t call any of them trucks. In Australia a truck looks like this
When I hear truck to describe a pickup or even a ute, I can’t help but feel they’re embellishing horribly. Like calling your average Civic-with-a-fart-can a racecar.

Collingwood is a town in Ontario where they distill cheap Canadian whiskey almost entirely for US export. They don’t even bottle it there.
I’m assuming there’s a similar town of a like name down in Oz?
Also. Sure, bro trucks may be big and silly, but out my way you’ll see a farmer with his one-ton dually hauling a loaded livestock trailer that definitely exceeds the 15,000kg tow rating.

It’s simple.
Non-truck (these are jeeps or pickups where I am):
