Except the people who own the monster trucks never carry more than 1500 lbs and rarely take it on the highway.
A little off the topic, but sometimes I wonder if driving a rally car with a cage, 5 point seatbelts and a helmet will be more safe on a highway. Like it seems to me that it is safer, but will it actually be?
It’d be safer, but it wouldn’t be very comfortable. Rally cars have very barebones interiors to cut down on weight. You’d also need different tires and tuning.
You might be shocked to know that fitting a family of four plus vacation gear quickly approaches 1.5k.
Payload capacity includes how much people weigh. It’s not just how much you can throw in the bed.
That's either a very heavy family or a lot of vacation gear! You would need all 4 people to be around 300lbs to start getting close.
It's america, so it's not impossible
All of them? Like every single one?
Clearly there was some sort of global survey we aren't privy to.
