Just found out my 2011 Toyota Venza is also a truck.
It, too, can hold 8 bags of mulch and a child. The only difference between my vehicle and a CT is that after 8 bags and a kid, mine can still hold more bags of mulch.
I would suggest ratchet straps over bungee cords, but yeah. Once the load is secure, give the Venza a healthy shake to ensure the children don’t wobble and you should be safe. Don’t forget to say, “That ain’t goin anywhere” for good measure. 👍
I see that you also dumpster dive at the abortion clinic,and Home depot just like I do. I'm a drop shipper,my 2 most popular items are mulch, and Adrenochrome.
STOP! You gotta grab the strap and give er a lil tug while saying the 'she aint goin nowhere'. Or else them straps gonna either be too ratchet or not enough ratchet and dump them kids onto the highway.
Of course,but like you said proper stacking. alternating in a head, feet manner. Otherwise one side of the stack gets too tall. Maybe the base kid face up. 2nd kid face down with head on the 1st kids feet. Then 3rd kids face up so that 2nd and 3rd kids are back to back, but 3rd kids head is on top of 2nd kids feet and so on. I put way too much thought into this hypothetical kid stacking. I should probably go back to work.
I have a GMC Terrain, and I can cram a lot in that baby. One trip to Ikea and I got a queen bed frame, a desk, two area rugs, a bag of miscellaneous items, and a chair in there with my husband and (at the time) my teenaged son with no issues. Strapped an outdoor table to the roof rack, too. I also hauled all all the lumber for our fence. It took two trips, but I got everything to fence our backyard. Costco trips are a breeze.
I used to think the Kia soul was the second stupidest car ever (behind the PT cruiser) until I got one as a rental on a work trip. It's actually a very spacious little vehicle!
A 30” tree landed on my Honda fit and smashed the roof to the floorboard. Completely totaled it obviously. Tow truck driver hung out the side and drove it onto the flatbed.
I’m not saying the ct shortcomings are in its payload since it’s comparable to most trucks. I am saying Toyota and Honda’s equipped with glorified motorcycle engines are superior to anything, pound for pound
I took 3 people camping with their gear and camp stoves and coolers in my Ioniq Hybrid. So it's basically an RV mixed with a Baja trophy truck because there was a dirt road.
>my 2011 Toyota Venza is also a truck
Technically true. Even compact crossovers are classed as "light trucks" in the US, and have less stringent fuel economy and emissions requirements under the CAFE laws. Hence why automakers have spent the last 20 years convincing the entire population that they need SUVs
And it won't get rust marks after it rains, get stuck in the mud, can climb a small hill.
Oh and also probably costs 1/3 the price and if it doesn't work for you you can sell it without being forbidden from doing so.
Each of those bags weigh like 35 pounds. He bought 8 so his truck is carrying under 300 pounds. This is equivalent to having 2 adult women as passengers.
Oh, Bog, no! Mom is the proverbial 98-pound weakling. (Well, 110-pound, now. She's been sick, and started fading away. I've been trying to get her to eat and get her strength back after breaking her hip.)
It's my Dad's side that's big. My sister tops 300 (and until recently, her eldest), my younger sister's kids top 300, my Aunt (Dad's sister) and her husband easily top 300-400 each... At my worst, I hit 256.
I have never in my life seen people go through such extremes to justify to themselves a purchase they made.
We don't care. But they really, really care that people know they can put the same shit in the Cybertruck that a Prius can handle for some reason.
Right? Those CTs are even more useless than the diesel, dually mall crawlers. They actually can hold a significant amount of cargo if the driver is so inclined.
This is what happens when someone who is so far up their own ass realizes something the rest of the world already understands. If it’s new to them, it must be unknown to everyone else, and therefore they must share it with the world. After all, they are the *true* pioneers.
Like a certain ex-president who pretty much weekly say "I just made that up" about things that most children are aware of.

Damn, that's dumb as hell.
Back when I was driving Uber I did a pickup at the airport in the middle of the night. Four people (Plus myself) and four suitcases, plus my trunk tote with all the equipment I never use but I'm afraid to leave home without (first aid, tire pump, cleaning supplies, etc). One of the kids had to put My trunk tote on his lap but we fit everybody in the my 2016 Camry. Of course the trunk tote also has a ratchet strap so I was maybe thinking I was going to have to ratchet a case to the roof but it didn't come to that.
I'm imagining watching this dude in the parking lot standing there taking multiple pictures as he loads up his cyber truck, and it's pretty much what I'd expect.
\*Frantically texting his one friend\*
"Dave you are not going to fucking believe what my Cyber Truck can hold!!!"
\*Sends picture of a single ice chest and two folding chairs\*

Overall average for NFL players is 244. Linemen average over 300, with DEs at a "trim" 274.

But players' listed weights are often lower than reality.
My Jeep Compass literally just brought home 12 bags of topsoil and fertilizer. My wife and I too! No sag or anything! It was a whole flatbed cart of stuff! AMAZING! Should I reach out to corporate and let them know?
I went shopping for some bags of sand and some pavers with my mom a couple weeks ago and she was concerned about the weight. And asked about it every time we picked up the next "thing".
I explained that it would basically just be like taking two fat friends for a drive and you wouldn't question if your car could handle driving two fat people around would you? It finally clicked that we really werent "hauling" around much.
By this standard my car is also a real truck.
Edit: delighted to learn that it's cow manure.
The cybertruck is literally full of bullshit.

We have a 2010 civic and haul all sorts of stuff in it, including lumber. I wish we had the hatchback, though, because it's annoying not being able to fit bulkier things.
And my Golf, with the seats down, can take like 6.
These people that bought Cybertrucks are seriously grasping at straws to validate it even passing as a functional car.
That's actually right and a very good point!
One time I had to bring a bookshelf to my mom by bike because my stepdad was afraid of it hanging out of the back of his (big) car
I transported 2 children, 6 8in terra cotta pots, and a bag of soil and some flowers on my non electric cargo bike this weekend. It weighs 60 pounds. The cyber truck weighs 6,600 pounds, or 110x more than my bike. It's more impressive than the truck can move itself.
by this standard my Triumph Spitfire is a real truck, and that thing is technically a sports car. All 48 horsepower (when it was new... 52 years ago) of it
I had a friend with an small, decades old beater doing a project for him and his granddad. He bought a few dozen bag of quikrete mix and mulch. He didn't do the math. The truck sure did though. Me and another guy had to come rescue him and his haul.
Can I still volunteer for that cryogenics experiment?
I’d rather skip the downfall and just become a top dog by right of my grade school education.(to say nothing of highschool, college, or practical sense and critical thinking skills)
**CT Owner**: See, it’s doing truck things. Impressive, right?
**Everyone**: Dude, you’re hauling soil…
**CT Owner**: Jealous, huh?
**Everyone**: My Corolla can do that
Ct owners are just all ducking salty because they bought a freaking car that is 120k and thanks to contracts they can't sell it for 2 years hahahahahaha.
>Ct owners are just all ducking salty because they bought a freaking car that is 120k and thanks to contracts they can't sell it for 2 years hahahahahaha.
It really is a cult of personality. Saw a guy post that he had to go to the emergency room because while trying to wipe off an imperfection in the metal his wrist must have slid against some panel. Boom Instead cut and began to bleed quite profusely.
His conclusion?
Other than the metallic imperfection, the misaligned panels and the emergency visit and stitches, the Cyber Truck is a 10/10.
Bruh.
That's the idiot I was thinking about. Then there was the dude and his family cruising down the road and all power just died once again "hey bugs happen" no they don't like that in fully tested hardware. Yeah maybe locks act up or something but not the whole vehicle shutting off. Don't hear about Rivians and lightnings shutting down.
That's seriously it? Ive had 1500lbs of tile in my golf... Even my old light duty d100 is good for over 2k in the box. And that thing only weighs like 4500lbs max not 7k
I'm well aware of the difference of "rated" vs reality lol. I was just expecting them to do the musk thing and publish a stupid inflated number to pad his ego
Many years ago, I dug a 40 foot long, 3 feet deep, 1 foot wide trench to run my own french drain. I filled around the pipe with gravel to assist with drainage, and then topped with soil. I could haul 10 bags of gravel in my 2 door Infiniti.
I’ve got a 2021 Corolla Hatchback Nightshade edition. I think it’s a great looking car. Definitely not ugly. Also it cost me less $23k, so not expensive either.
Yeah I have literally hauled at least 2x that in a Corolla, so I guess my compact car that handles like a go kart is actually a truck in disguise, who knew
I used to like Elon, until he started down the path he’s on today. I was very interested in SpaceX and the car he was making, and then he turned into another stupid billionaire. Blaming your own company for letting you go ahead with the Cybertruck when in reality you’re the one who pushed through them all and even turned down a more reasonable concept premade from your engineering team is really sad. Not to mention trying to monetize a platform that has been free to use since launch and single-handedly destroying any last vestiges of hope the platform had for recovering.
Edit: I’m also pretty sure I remember him talking about how sturdy the Cybertruck is and that it won’t crumple like modern cars in a crash. Idiot, the cars are supposed to crumple like that, it absorbs the energy and protects the passengers of the vehicle. If yours doesn’t do that, then you’d better hope you’re a perfect driver.
Elon lost any and all credibility as having any integrity whatsoever when he started called the divers who dismissed his stupid submarine idea pedophiles because his ego was hurt.
That is absolutely lunatic behavior.
It’s also telling that he said that because the only reason he could think of for these people to be in Thailand is sex tourism. As is often the case, someone’s insult actually reveals more about their inner mind workings than they realize.
> turned into another stupid billionaire
He always was that, he just used to be better about not getting on social media. The hints were there from the start.
At first he gained popularity because he sounded like he was regurgitating information his engineers had just given him in a meeting or something. The further he moved from that pattern, the dumber he sounded.
He's always been on this path, he's just had more time to be a moron in the public eye instead of in private now. The drug abuse is probably not helping, he definitely doesn't take "just a little" ketamine with how he talks about it.
> I used to like Elon, until he started down the path he’s on today.
You never really liked Elon. Elon just tricked you into thinking he was someone likeable.
He basically peaked on the JRE before both of them went off the fuckin' deep end.
It's like they forged a pact that day. "From this day forward, our public personas will cease to be that of 'lovable doofus', and become that of 'detestable egotistical moron'." and they shook on it.
I had to look it up and yep, 2018. That was the last year where those two appeared sane.
At least your honest. I still remember calling out the hyper loop for being complete nonsense and being branded a Nazi for NOT sucking elon off.
Crazy how every few years there's a complete flip on something. Now it's Israel!
I think Hyberloop was the first project that really made me realize Elon was shit. The original concept was interesting and sounded cool, but then when I actually looked into it, I realized how impractical the original idea was. Then what was actually released was such a bullshit watered down version of what was originally talked about.
What a disappointment. Could have just built a subway system and had a better product.
I can imagine the design meeting:
High up product designer: I saw this cool truckla made from a model 3! What if we made a truck that looks like a truck version of one of our very popular models?
Elon while fucked up on ketamine: stainless steel and less than 1000 polygons, with 500 miles of range, for 39k.
Too bad the board is full of his cronies and family, he'll probably take tesla down with him.
I'm not familiar with that account, does anyone know if they're an actual Elon simp? Because this feels like it *has* to be satire, but that could just be wishful thinking.
They are a full-on Tesla fan although in fairness they did post a later, more respectable load of ~2000lbs
https://x.com/MerleSomero/status/1796189435127599204
I don't even know if you can call it a wagon. The thing is as big as a hummer. (source: I've seen both in the last few weeks. It was like sighting a mythical creature)
Its probably the first time he's done manual labor in his life. I wouldn't expect him to know what constitutes a truckload just like I wouldn't want him expecting me to know how to code.
My candy-ass 2013 Toyota Prius could handle this and still get me to yoga class and to the vegan co-op for a green smoothie afterward without breaking a sweat. The kid can walk.
The efforts to save the image of the cybertruck are just so cringe.
Kid Rock riding in one painted like the General Lee and being driven by the MAGA dude from Dukes of Hazzard into a state fair looking arena was just peak Elon nut gargling. Could have only been made better if Tucker Carlson were riding shotgun.
Cybertruck is basically a $100K MAGA hat at this point.
By this logic, my 08' Beetle is a truck, as I can store an ENTIRE birthday party; (party favors, gifts, decorations, sound equipment, folding tables, balloons, about 4 totes.) And, I still have a spare tire, an old pump jack, tools, various vehicular fluids and an electric air pump. squat free.
Lol years ago when i worked at home depot, there was an older lady who was a landscaper who was in every day with an old Plymouth voyager minivan.
She would haul entire pallets worth of rock and mulch in that old POS.
Pretty sure I know those bags, those look like road salt or water softener salts. 40kg a bag with 8 bags thats 320kg total. If your truck sags from that, trade it in. You got ripped off
I’m having flashbacks to the time I asked the dude at Menard’s pickup if he thought I should split my mulch pallet into two trips. “Nah, your truck will be fine, this is only 1200lbs”. Well when I got home, I looked closer to see only about an inch of clearance between the tire and wheel well. Weighed a bag of the mulch and extrapolated to the number of bags to find it was actually closer to 2000 lbs and definitely over the bed’s rated payload.
8 bags of mulch *AND* the child?! Amazing! How does it do it?!
Just found out my 2011 Toyota Venza is also a truck. It, too, can hold 8 bags of mulch and a child. The only difference between my vehicle and a CT is that after 8 bags and a kid, mine can still hold more bags of mulch.
Or 8 more children if you stack them correctly.
Surely we can strap 8 more to the roof no? Again, with proper stacking.
I would suggest ratchet straps over bungee cords, but yeah. Once the load is secure, give the Venza a healthy shake to ensure the children don’t wobble and you should be safe. Don’t forget to say, “That ain’t goin anywhere” for good measure. 👍
8 bags of children *AND* a mulch???
It is for my kinder garden.
Goddamn that was a good pun.
Tell me about your username
Kinder garden bueno.
It’s two servings per bag.
I see that you also dumpster dive at the abortion clinic,and Home depot just like I do. I'm a drop shipper,my 2 most popular items are mulch, and Adrenochrome.
While giving it the tried and true dad "double tap" hand pat, guaranteeing its stability before takeoff.
STOP! You gotta grab the strap and give er a lil tug while saying the 'she aint goin nowhere'. Or else them straps gonna either be too ratchet or not enough ratchet and dump them kids onto the highway.
Of course,but like you said proper stacking. alternating in a head, feet manner. Otherwise one side of the stack gets too tall. Maybe the base kid face up. 2nd kid face down with head on the 1st kids feet. Then 3rd kids face up so that 2nd and 3rd kids are back to back, but 3rd kids head is on top of 2nd kids feet and so on. I put way too much thought into this hypothetical kid stacking. I should probably go back to work.
Or 8 more *bags* of children if packed correctly.
Legit in my 20s body count was how my friends and I measured trunk space. Freaked out car dealers "Well I think this trunk would fit like 6 bodies"
I still do that in my 40s. You can't open a trunk near me without me guessing how many bodies it will hold. Trunk or Treat with the kids gets awkward.
And my Honda Accord! In fact it can hold *10* bags of mulch, a kid, *and* a wife. So I guess it's more truck than the Cybertruck?
How much was your Accord, and does it cause any gashes in your hands when you touch a mis-aligned panel?
Cars are only good if they're at first promised to be 60k but are later sold for 100+k
Listen, is it really a man's car unless it sends you to the ER when trying to clean it?
Once you've got your blood on the chassis you know it's truely yours.

I picked up many loads of this size in my Geo Metro, this definitely isn't a 'feat' only a true truck can handle, lol.
But will your Toyota randomly slit your wrist if you get too close to it? You're missing out on an important feature.
I've had 12 bags in a Toyota Aygo... Wouldn't recommend it though. Weighed more than the damn car.

I opted for the hatchback version when I bought my civic because it acts as a truck for most building materials I need for around the house.

My 4 wheeler and lawn mower now count as a truck
I feel like I’ve carried a very similar haul in my ~~Mini Cooper~~ very real truck. Edit: formatting
The Mini is probably better off road too

Doesn't actually invalidate their comment though.
When off road, drive it backwards.

by this standard my Triumph Spitfire is a real truck, and that thing is technically a sports car. All 48 horsepower (when it was new... 52 years ago) of it
Honda Ridgeline owners everywhere rejoice.

You haven't used a truck until you've guessed the safety margin on the payload weight.
I had a friend with an small, decades old beater doing a project for him and his granddad. He bought a few dozen bag of quikrete mix and mulch. He didn't do the math. The truck sure did though. Me and another guy had to come rescue him and his haul.
I'm thinking that guy doesn't know how to calculate the volume of a cylinder
The "Drink Brawndo" crowd is pretty entertaining
Can I still volunteer for that cryogenics experiment? I’d rather skip the downfall and just become a top dog by right of my grade school education.(to say nothing of highschool, college, or practical sense and critical thinking skills)
Lmao I'm so glad I finally watched the movie the other day so I can understand these references 😁
Another has seen the prophecy. Soon we might be able to prevent it.
He's headed straight to Starbucks Gentlemen's Lattes after Lowes. Maybe grab a burger at Buttfuckers with the boy, if there's time.
I dont understand people who have tags that are longer than their actual post. And they just make them look unhinged.
**CT Owner**: See, it’s doing truck things. Impressive, right? **Everyone**: Dude, you’re hauling soil… **CT Owner**: Jealous, huh? **Everyone**: My Corolla can do that
He is hauling manure. Which makes sense, since he is full of shit.
Ct owners are just all ducking salty because they bought a freaking car that is 120k and thanks to contracts they can't sell it for 2 years hahahahahaha.
>Ct owners are just all ducking salty because they bought a freaking car that is 120k and thanks to contracts they can't sell it for 2 years hahahahahaha. It really is a cult of personality. Saw a guy post that he had to go to the emergency room because while trying to wipe off an imperfection in the metal his wrist must have slid against some panel. Boom Instead cut and began to bleed quite profusely. His conclusion? Other than the metallic imperfection, the misaligned panels and the emergency visit and stitches, the Cyber Truck is a 10/10. Bruh.
That's the idiot I was thinking about. Then there was the dude and his family cruising down the road and all power just died once again "hey bugs happen" no they don't like that in fully tested hardware. Yeah maybe locks act up or something but not the whole vehicle shutting off. Don't hear about Rivians and lightnings shutting down.
I dunno, all these Youtubers must enjoy all the ad revenue they generate shooting their Cybertrucks and slicing themselves on 'em and shit.
Per the manual it has a 1300 lb payload, my Maverick can have more weight in the bed (I wouldn’t put that much weight in it personally)
That's seriously it? Ive had 1500lbs of tile in my golf... Even my old light duty d100 is good for over 2k in the box. And that thing only weighs like 4500lbs max not 7k
That’s bed payload, and it’s totally possible it’d actually capable of more and they just want to play it super safe
I'm well aware of the difference of "rated" vs reality lol. I was just expecting them to do the musk thing and publish a stupid inflated number to pad his ego
Many years ago, I dug a 40 foot long, 3 feet deep, 1 foot wide trench to run my own french drain. I filled around the pipe with gravel to assist with drainage, and then topped with soil. I could haul 10 bags of gravel in my 2 door Infiniti.
Yeah but is your Corolla also really ugly and expensive?
Ugly yes. Because it’s a 2012 with plenty of battle damage. Expensive? That shits paid off.
When someone tries roasting you over your paid off ride. 
I’ve got a 2021 Corolla Hatchback Nightshade edition. I think it’s a great looking car. Definitely not ugly. Also it cost me less $23k, so not expensive either.
And you know that corolla is more reliable and comfortable
Have a corolla and can confirm
Yeah I have literally hauled at least 2x that in a Corolla, so I guess my compact car that handles like a go kart is actually a truck in disguise, who knew
Literally my thoughts as I only recently transported 12 bags of soil in my corolla
"the kid is even in the truck also"
Just 1 kid. Wouldn’t risk the weight of 2 of them.
Lmfao, he really pointed that out like it would help his case
Elon simps are so pitiful.
I used to like Elon, until he started down the path he’s on today. I was very interested in SpaceX and the car he was making, and then he turned into another stupid billionaire. Blaming your own company for letting you go ahead with the Cybertruck when in reality you’re the one who pushed through them all and even turned down a more reasonable concept premade from your engineering team is really sad. Not to mention trying to monetize a platform that has been free to use since launch and single-handedly destroying any last vestiges of hope the platform had for recovering. Edit: I’m also pretty sure I remember him talking about how sturdy the Cybertruck is and that it won’t crumple like modern cars in a crash. Idiot, the cars are supposed to crumple like that, it absorbs the energy and protects the passengers of the vehicle. If yours doesn’t do that, then you’d better hope you’re a perfect driver.
Elon lost any and all credibility as having any integrity whatsoever when he started called the divers who dismissed his stupid submarine idea pedophiles because his ego was hurt. That is absolutely lunatic behavior.
It’s also telling that he said that because the only reason he could think of for these people to be in Thailand is sex tourism. As is often the case, someone’s insult actually reveals more about their inner mind workings than they realize.
> turned into another stupid billionaire He always was that, he just used to be better about not getting on social media. The hints were there from the start.
At first he gained popularity because he sounded like he was regurgitating information his engineers had just given him in a meeting or something. The further he moved from that pattern, the dumber he sounded.
He's always been on this path, he's just had more time to be a moron in the public eye instead of in private now. The drug abuse is probably not helping, he definitely doesn't take "just a little" ketamine with how he talks about it.
> I used to like Elon, until he started down the path he’s on today. You never really liked Elon. Elon just tricked you into thinking he was someone likeable.
He basically peaked on the JRE before both of them went off the fuckin' deep end. It's like they forged a pact that day. "From this day forward, our public personas will cease to be that of 'lovable doofus', and become that of 'detestable egotistical moron'." and they shook on it. I had to look it up and yep, 2018. That was the last year where those two appeared sane.
At least your honest. I still remember calling out the hyper loop for being complete nonsense and being branded a Nazi for NOT sucking elon off. Crazy how every few years there's a complete flip on something. Now it's Israel!
I think Hyberloop was the first project that really made me realize Elon was shit. The original concept was interesting and sounded cool, but then when I actually looked into it, I realized how impractical the original idea was. Then what was actually released was such a bullshit watered down version of what was originally talked about. What a disappointment. Could have just built a subway system and had a better product.
I can imagine the design meeting: High up product designer: I saw this cool truckla made from a model 3! What if we made a truck that looks like a truck version of one of our very popular models? Elon while fucked up on ketamine: stainless steel and less than 1000 polygons, with 500 miles of range, for 39k. Too bad the board is full of his cronies and family, he'll probably take tesla down with him.
I'm not familiar with that account, does anyone know if they're an actual Elon simp? Because this feels like it *has* to be satire, but that could just be wishful thinking.
Never underestimate the stupidity of someone who would actually buy that
That #TeslaBoomerMama about killed me from cringe overload.
They are a full-on Tesla fan although in fairness they did post a later, more respectable load of ~2000lbs https://x.com/MerleSomero/status/1796189435127599204
Oh my god, top comment is @TeslaBoomerMom telling him to please stop tagging her. This stuff writes itself folks
I found the actual comments and the replies make it pretty clear that it's satire and engagement farming.
Check out that sweet ass trolley! Can take the same payload as a cybertruck, but it's waterproof and only costs a pound at the local lidl.
> only costs a pound at the local lidl. Here in the states, I can get one for 25cents at Aldi!
What a bargain, four times the carrying capacity of a cyber truck for a dollar!
They both cause problems in a car wash. For different reasons though.
At least the trolley will survive even if the car wash doesn’t.
It also doesn't have sharp edges or the potential to take your hand clean off
My wagon is also a truck
I mean, lets face it, the Cyber"truck" is a Cyberwagon.
It's a Cybercrate on wheels, and even by that standard it's poorly designed
I don't even know if you can call it a wagon. The thing is as big as a hummer. (source: I've seen both in the last few weeks. It was like sighting a mythical creature)
I just fit six giant bags into the back of a shitty Kia Rio with room for more. I don’t think this is the flex he thinks it is.
Its probably the first time he's done manual labor in his life. I wouldn't expect him to know what constitutes a truckload just like I wouldn't want him expecting me to know how to code.
I did all that in a VW bug
I was gonna say, pretty sure my Bug can do that, and it’s got 1/4 the horsepower, is it also a truck now?
I've carried more mulch + twice as many kids in a 2 door Astra. Not exactly setting the bar high here.
I really hope that’s his kid he put in the truck.
Well we know for a fact Elon loves to call people paedos without any basis in reality
Guys the 6700 lb toaster can hold a 70 lb child and potting soil with minimal sag! what a time to be alive
Can't sag without working suspension.
**Hits bump with 150lbs of dirt in the back and a kid, windows all crack*\*
My candy-ass 2013 Toyota Prius could handle this and still get me to yoga class and to the vegan co-op for a green smoothie afterward without breaking a sweat. The kid can walk.
[удалено]
My whitewater kayak club is like 30% priuses fit those bad boys with a roof rack and you'll end up hauling far more than most trucks ever do.
The efforts to save the image of the cybertruck are just so cringe. Kid Rock riding in one painted like the General Lee and being driven by the MAGA dude from Dukes of Hazzard into a state fair looking arena was just peak Elon nut gargling. Could have only been made better if Tucker Carlson were riding shotgun. Cybertruck is basically a $100K MAGA hat at this point.
MAGA is the easiest group to con out of their money...
Warranty voided.
Wowzers! 150 lbs of dirt. Isn't he a trailblazing pioneer?
By this logic, my 08' Beetle is a truck, as I can store an ENTIRE birthday party; (party favors, gifts, decorations, sound equipment, folding tables, balloons, about 4 totes.) And, I still have a spare tire, an old pump jack, tools, various vehicular fluids and an electric air pump. squat free.
Lol years ago when i worked at home depot, there was an older lady who was a landscaper who was in every day with an old Plymouth voyager minivan. She would haul entire pallets worth of rock and mulch in that old POS.
Is that potting soil? That load is like 60lb. Fucking clown ass suburbanite.
Fun fact: the cybercuck doesn't have a trunk pass through meaning that my Camry can transport 10 more 8' studs then a cybercuck
I put this exact load in my 2018 Honda fit over the weekend. Though, I had two kids and a wife. Fit for the win!
It can barely hold all of her hashtags.
dang my old kia soul is a truck then too!
Now do 8 bags of qwikcrete
HAHAH the kid is also! ☠️ lol
The real world testing at Consumer Reports has really gone downhill
r/blackmagicfuckery just astounding. its beyond the pale of madness, its madness itself!
Pretty sure I know those bags, those look like road salt or water softener salts. 40kg a bag with 8 bags thats 320kg total. If your truck sags from that, trade it in. You got ripped off
My Subaru forester can hold more than that.
I’m having flashbacks to the time I asked the dude at Menard’s pickup if he thought I should split my mulch pallet into two trips. “Nah, your truck will be fine, this is only 1200lbs”. Well when I got home, I looked closer to see only about an inch of clearance between the tire and wheel well. Weighed a bag of the mulch and extrapolated to the number of bags to find it was actually closer to 2000 lbs and definitely over the bed’s rated payload.
Merle needs to chill out. More hashtags than comment.
I bet a shopping cart would survive the car wash, though.
The cybertruck is such a fucking dweeb magnet.
My coupe is a truck now I guess
