Some semi-matte olive paint and that mofo could have a Warthog.
Why is everyone making fun of some guy’s truck? Further, OP why are you being a creeper and posting pictures of people online without their consent?
I guarantee no one here knows this man, he might be the nicest dude ever and just happens to like monster trucks or something. What the hell is wrong with you people? How about mind your own business instead of gossiping about someone who is (probably) just a random dad waiting to pick up his kid and go home to make dinner. Fucking weirdos.
His compensator is compensating
I mean, it does look kind of cool. Can’t go wrong with matte black
Hey… I’m so glad that guys kid is NOT homeschooled…
Scared of the outside world so it needs a scary face, sitting in a nice comfy air-conditioned cab on big pillowy tyres, lots of lights because the dark is scary. How is this more manly than a bicycle?
Where I am at there’s triple digit hear warnings, so there is a logic to this. On the other I have used my bicycle to pick up my daughter under such conditions so it is possible, but then she rightfully complains about the heat.
(obligatory DO NOT ACTUALLY so I don’t get removed)
Bet if you shot up this jackass’s car he’d be a lot less prepared than he fucking thinks
The fact that school pickup lines exist is wild.
Sometimes, the parents forget to pick up the kids so the teachers get to decide if they leave a child all alone with no help or if the teacher works unpaid over time
Greatest country in the world…
It’s always money.
When I first moved to the town I live in now, I was impressed by the all new schools. However I eventually realized they replaced a bunch of older neighborhood schools with a smaller number of bigger schools. They saved money by providing a worse educational experience and making walking less likely.
We walked to my kids elementary school but the town saved money by not plowing the sidewalks in winter, nor forcing residents to. Our walk would require walking on a major street - until my ex went full Karen and made them plow
When my kids got to middle school, we were in “walking” distance so there was no bus. However that was a full mile including crossing a six lane road whose light was always broken, and they didn’t spring for a crossing guard . We ended up choosing a private school in a different town, so there were no buses nor walkability
Regional school districts are now common. More kids goto schools that are not even in their towns
How do you envision kids being picked up after school? Free for all?
Edit: yes I’m doubling down, the people in the replies are idiots.
Obviously walking, biking, or taking the bus is better. Let’s assume that covers 95% of children 95% of the time.
Now what?
I was asking what to do WITH CARS that are picking up kids REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT ANOTHER KID MIGHT TKAE THE BUS
In my childhood in Germany kids didn’t need to be picked up or dropped off, we either walked or took public transit (not dedicated school buses either). As far as I can tell that’s still the case where I live. It’s a very different urban design that facilitates it, and it results in more human lives in my opinion.
America’s choking to death on cars
Well in my country if a parent comes picking up their kids by car they have to park their car and walk to the school to pick their kids up. Waiting in your idling car in front of the school while taking up the lane is not allowed.
Yeah that’s why places that routinely have some car pick up come up with ways to manage it, like having dedicated pickup lanes to move parents and children through quickly safely and efficiently.
We envision them taking a bus, walking, or biking home. Not them each getting picked up individually by their parents
Meanwhile we have busses that don’t always go anywhere close to everyone’s houses (or if they do, they may take multiple hours to get there after dropping off a hundred other kids), almost non-existent sidewalks in most suburbs, dumbasses who don’t watch for people on bikes, and a court system that’s regularly faulted the person on the bike for getting hit.
Greatest country!
Also, at least where I live, you have to have prior permission to ride the bus. Your parent is going to be late picking you up? Guess you’re waiting outside cause they didn’t pre sign the permission slip!
When a world without cars is inconceivable, it becomes a presumed condition of the question that the answer must involve cars.
I live in the UK and walk my children to school every day. There is still a line for school pickup/drop-off because not everyone is so lucky.
This isn’t even an American phenomenon.
Some amount of people will be driving cars to pickup and drop-off every day, even if it’s minimized and even if it’s not always the same people.
So it stands to reason they should do it in some kind of orderly fashion as dictated by the school for the safety of, get this, THE CHILDREN ARRIVING BY FOOT, BIKE OR BUS
Ok that’s lovely. And the ones who are being picked up individually by their parents? They don’t wait in a line?
Why would they, there’s like five of them…
I’m sure you can imagine how if there were more then 5 that could become a problem right?
I suppose you are also capable of imagining schools other than your own?
I envision walkable communities
Yes that would be lovely, until then though? We don’t bother having queues or rules because Reddit doesn’t think anyone should have a car?

“You’re not allowed to criticize the status quo unless your solution can be done instantaneously”
because Reddit doesn’t think anyone should have a car?
This is a strawman argument
Ever heard of a thing called a school bus
Yes, that doesn’t look like a school bus to me though. I assume if he tried to use the school bus lane they’d manage to catch him.
Because other countries exist?
I used to walk to school, later bike to school, went to school in a bus etc.
Only times I got picked up/dropped off was when I was sick or had issues with other modes of transport
What country are you assuming I’m assuming exactly? Wasn’t aware there was only one country with both schools and cars
Get rid of this car oriented school design and make walking and biking viable again. Also school buses
There’s a guy with 3 DUIs.
I briefly contracted at SHAP (the plant that builds the 1500) and you’d have to be drunk to buy one of these piles of shit
Saw this description of kid rock and it seems like it applies here too. He’s got tattoos of his kids but not custody.
Kid Rock makes music for people that know the age of consent in every state.
This month.
Small penis alert
But he’s got YUUGGGEEEE balls! You can see them in the back hanging from the trailer hitch.
Huh? What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Say it again!
There’s got to be a better way.
Picking up some groceries
Good god, y’all
Um, money duhhh. Just sell to both sides and instigate.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a dash
Just a little higher and they’ll be able to pass over the children unscathed. Problem solved
I need some new insults to use. Everything i grew up calling these people is not okay to use anymore (fag, retard etc.) The more offensive the better. Thanks for the help.
Micropenis
Piss baby.
Nepobaby.
How about “refag” or “fatard”?
I like these
Yeah, can’t they take the school bus or just walk?
School bus don’t go where they live, 16 miles outside of town, in the sticks where you wouldn’t go.
I used to live there (16 miles out of town, in the sticks) and the school bus still came. I had to walk a mile to get to the stop, because they didn’t like dirt roads. But then I got chased by a dog and my parents complained to the right people so I only had to walk like 1/4 mile to the stop from then on.
But yeah, that’s probably still not an option everyone
Looks like some of the trucks in my suburban neighbourhood that have never carried anything bigger than a Costco bag of dog food and an ikea chair, nor have they ever been more off road than parking on the grass at the park.
My kids can’t ride the bus because they are “too close” to school, except it’s 1.6 miles away on a busy road with patches of no sidewalks. It would be trivial to have a bus drop them nearby but they instead want to waste the time of hundreds of parents every single day.
I lived 15 km from my school and I took the bus.
The only place they could afford after buying that monstrosity & it’s got all the comforts of an outhouse.
See those long A arms?
Unlike most “big dick trucks,” this has a decent looking suspension, widened stance and big tires (and small rims) of a prerunner. If this guy lives out in the desert, he likely has some fantastic fun with it.
If I’m not mistaken (and I could be), that’s a “small” base truck, like a Ranger or whatever the equivalent dodge is, as opposed to a hulking F150. These are better for building up like that because they aren’t so freaking big to start.
What I don’t particularly like are the lifts that are terrible off road, like feet off the ground to the point where they’re tippy, yet have no suspension travel and can’t even park.
That’s a Ram I’m afraid. Dodge has no small/midsize truck in North America.
RIP my truck taxonomy skills.
You know that thing has never seen anything wilder than a mall parking lot
Desert offloading is a popular thing in the US southwest. I’d do it as much as I could if I lived there, and had a truck like that.
To be clear, unlike most lifted trucks, I’m just saying it has a plausible use. You could be right.
Wild that rangers are considered small.
Yeah…
I hardly ever see Rangers in Texas, to the point I actually point them out like a rare car. But a ton of the traffic is full sized pickups.
