And that's why I drive a truck.

The Subie's nice, but when it comes time for bulk, Josie gets tagged.

Granted, three tons would squash her little Japanese chassis flat.

Pretty sweet... that's a lot of weight on a vehicle. That's where the necessity for a truck is really evident. Couldn't do that in any other type of vehicle.

And I approve of the good ol F150

I can set 3 ton in any vehicle and I would guess it would look like that, why is bottoming out a vehicle significant?

By the looks its sitting on the frame rails and likely will not spring all the way back up after this pointless exercise.
