4x4 Off-Road
Has never seen anything but paved roads its entire life.
I’ve heard the phrase “pavement princess” used for such vehicles
I’ve been using “emotional support vehicle” lately.
My buddy uses “gender affirming vehicle” all the time. 😆
I call folks who drive them “rural identifying persons”
can’t help but notice that most of those trunks are empty too
They’re empty and almost every tow hitch is rusty. I think if they’re used the rust would get knocked off and they’d be shiny, like the one back there. They literally just buy trucks to make themselves feel manly, I guess because they can’t any other way. Then they never use it for any of the things they argue people need trucks for.
You’re backwards. The rusty ones are the ones getting used because the load and weight cause friction that takes the chrome coating off, exposing the underlying metal to the elements that cause rust.
Normally you grease the ball to keep it from getting bad, but a lot of people don’t keep up with that part.
Nah, they’re just Harbor Freight cheapo balls. All stainless balls are like $60, plated ones are like $20. It doesn’t take much for the plating to wear off from a trailer, and then there’s no stopping the rust.
I’m no expert, but I’m not saying it’s stop the rust, just rub it off. Rust is a thin layer on the outside, and it comes off really easily. I assume actually hooking up a trailer and using it on occasion would wear the rust off (for a little while). I could be totally wrong though.
I can confirm that scraping the balls causes rust way faster than it might scrape off. If you see glossy balls, they are likely never used.
Hate those fucken assholes. Pavement princess driving motherfuckers.
It literally takes less than 30 seconds to bend down, pull the cotter clip, pull the pin, and toss the hitch end in the bed. Saves the shins and kneecaps of yourself and everyone else.
I had an uncle that would quite literally do that and throw the hitch(es) into the bed of the truck every single time he walked through a parking lot. If he had to do that to multiple trucks before getting to the store so be it.
Good man.
I do the same, but with bicycle lights that people have left on. I know how annoying it is to find your battery empty.
Knew someone who deliberately left it out because they thought it would help mitigate someone nudging into their backend.
To their credit, it actually worked once, someone got a hitch sized hole in their front bumper for a low speed collision.
On the other hand, this person also kept banging their own shin on their tow hitch… But they thought it was worth it anyway…
I got a hitch sized hole in my bumper because some asshole backed into my parked car and drove off.
To this person’s credit, they always seemed to take backing up seriously and slowly and kept quite a distance from everyone… also very carefully parked as straight as possible, and never over any of the lines. Still since they only tow about once a week, it’s kind of silly to have that hitch in all the time.
Unlike another colleague who doesn’t have a tow hitch, but always pushes his luck and has on occasion given a nudge to a parked car with his pickup, and never parks straight and usually parks over the middle lines…
How else will anyone know that they used their truck for something more than getting groceries? They have to let everyone know they tow a lawn mower with the ridiculously large truck.
Or toss it in through the back window
There’s got to be some meth-head scrappers that need this information.
Not to mention anyone in a wheelchair can just get fucked walking around these minefields
This picture irritates me so much
If this is the same picture I saw years ago. This is from a farm college. So they kinda need the toe hooks.
Most places it illegal to have them on when not in use. Most people leave them on as a form of crash protection, like in a parking lot.
Toe hooks huh… Must be some big feet…
But even with or without hitches, their rear ends are intruding beyond their parking spots. I know that’s also a challenge with these long ass trucks, but if it were a lot designed specifically for this demographic, it should have the spots appropriate.
This is what every Sunday grocery trip looks like in Montana
My shins are already hurting by just looking at it.
How are none of these in their spaces?
Because it’s literally impossible for these assholes to fit their unnecessary behemoths into a real parking spot. The same people who own these complain about parking spots being small, parking garage ceilings being too low, and gas being too expensive. They act like it’s society’s fault. Fucking chuds
I was at a family party where this guy with the largest pickup I’d ever seen constantly complained about how expensive gas was and how it was Biden’s fault. It quickly became apparent that he only drove the thing the hour drive back and forth from his office job. Truck looked like new despite being a couple years old, save for highway tire wear.
Why on earth does he think we should all subsidize his absurd and impractical vehicle’s fuel? And I’m sure he complains about entitled people on welfare.
It’s not, these guys just suck and they don’t have the first clue how to actually operate their vehicles. I can fit my full sized truck into spaces just fine when I have occasion to drive it. They all think they’re hot shit for having back-in parking “skills,” too, while utterly failing to comprehend that all they’ve accomplished here is making it impossible to load anything into the bed. You know, like what trucks are for.
(Postscript: So obviously, they’re not planning on putting anything in the back. Which means they could have just as well all showed up on Vespas.)
easy way to solve this.
100 feet of chain, and 30 locks.

Had to take the hitch off my little convertible. That motherfucker is a TRAP! You will never see it that low, never suspect it’s there, then your shin is bleeding out.
So many tiny penises.
this is such a stupidly pathetic insult that really just pisses me off to no end when people say it. hell it’s not even an insult, it’s just stupid and always has been… might as well just make fun of people for skin colour and gender.
Those aren’t a choice. Driving a pavement princess 100% is.
They usually try to justify it with the loose excuse of hauling or towing things, that they do maybe twice a year. It’s pathetic.
The ones that actually get used regularly for their design are obvious, because they’re beat up from use. And from my experience, they also tend to be the ones that don’t park like this. Likely because backing in means you can’t actually load anything in the bed.
What does any of that have to do with using “tiny penis” as an insult? The issue the other user has is with the insult itself.
I don’t give a damn about the trucks/drivers. Insult them all you want. don’t use body parts as insults. it’s no different then using skin color, or saying someone is a lesser human because they have small tits or if their balding they are a weak human…
they are bad insults that make innocent people feel inferior for no reason.
When I was working a Lowe’s I had loads of princesses rolling through with monster trailers, hauling tons of rock and lumber.
I think it’s fine for people to get a truck cause they like how it looks
I think its moronic to drive something that is meant for work and is never used for it. Also, they are far heavier than cars, use more fuel, take up more space and are lethal for pedestrians in an accident.
Maybe I should walk around in a suit made of outward pointing knives because it looks cool.
It was always about making fun of insecure masculinity, which is a very outsized problem in our current moment. But I do think you’re right and I’ll start calling out that instead. ✌️
it’s not even an insult, it’s just stupid and always has been
I agree with you.
But you know who doesn’t agree with us? Aggressive hateful bigoted trumper assholes. And when you throw such a non-insult their way, it is their own hate and prejudice that turns it into something they take as an insult. At best it shines a light on the shitty attitude by turning it against the wielder, and at worst it gives the targets of their shit a little catharsis.
Even with the more tame versions, like “emotional support truck,” I assume we agree that a person who needs and responds well to an emotional support animal are not bad people. But you know who loves to assume that anything like that is a some kind of character flaw? Aggressive hateful bigoted trumper assholes. :)
Damn you got triggered lol
If you get this upset by everything you hear and don’t like online, you’re in for a rough life bud.
I’m halfway done life. dosoent mean you can’t talk about things that you feel society should stop doing.
Yeah, but of all the things to take a stand on and put energy into, this? Really?
My shins broke just looking at that
Alright, which Deregulated Red Run Oblast is this?
Imagine having to rely on a wheelchair here.
Definitely don’t buy a bunch of those big elastic bands for workouts and loop the cars together in pairs.
As a non-alternative (i.e. don’t do this either) the same pairings but with a thin rope with a self-tightening knot.
It will break without any noticeable effort from the car, but will probably make a big bang.
This is so ridiculous
What’s with all the free trailer hitches?
My first thought as well. Doubt any of these have locks. I don’t understand leaving it on. I travel on an RV and remove my hitch and store it as soon as the RV is disconnected.
My first hitch came with and got stolen within a 3 days of having it.
My first thought. I couldn’t imagine the foot pursuit, but I could imagine opening the amazon trailer hitch shop.
Imagine trying to get a shopping cart through that. I imagine that’s probably a Bass Pro Shops parking lot.
Some evil part of me would be tempted to take some chain and knit those trailer hitches together all down the line.
