Emotional support truck, blocking the sidewalk, sticking out into the road and with an empty driveway infront of it.

The portion of people that have these vehicles and fit the very narrow use case that it specifically satisfies is observably very small. People that don’t need a truck often can rent one. As mentioned by others, many of these trucks aren’t particularly good at what they were ostensibly built for. As my grandfather might have said, “those are just for sellin’”.

Judgement is fair, partly because these trucks only exist because of the scam legal definition of “light” trucks, partly due to the climate impact, but most immediately because of how dangerous they are to everyone else.
