It barely fits in the bloody car park. So bad for pedestrians and the environment.

Maybe it makes me a bad person but I'd love one, even just for a few years.

I ride 20km to uni each way, eat less than 1 meat meal a week on average and am highly interested in solar/renewable energies but fuck me I'd love a big truck... specifically one bigger than everyone elses.

They really don't make much sense on roads, but have you driven one off road? It's so much fun.

Interesting I always thought they would be a bit impractical off road due to their size and weight compared to a LandCruiser

They are both better at different types of off road environments. The raptor was designed as a Baja racer, referring to the Baja 1000, a very punishing desert race. If I was crawling through the jungle I'd rather have a land cruiser.

Fair enough, I suppose they're a bit less tippy than a Cruiser as well

If you live in the City then these things are pointless, but in the country they are some of the handy vehicles to have. And they sell like hotcakes out here.
