    Truck still needs:

    • gigantic lift kit
    • absurdly bright aftermarket headlights
    • ladder to reach the doors
    • cowcatcher on the front to move inconvenient pedestrians out of the way

      Depends on the state, but it’s often around 26,000 gross pounds, or some length + combination tractor trailer if not driving for hire.

        There’s a reason truckers call RV drivers “fucking terrorists”. You can legally drive an RV without a commercial license, even though it’s the size of a goddamned bus. Which means you never received training on how to avoid things like “sucking cyclists under your vehicle with your wake”.

    Is the vehicle¹ supposed to be used on the UK or Australia?

    1 - Honestly, I almost wrote “car” there, but no idea what this thing is named.
