      Big diesel crew cab rigs are for towing trailers while hauling a crew. Think land scaping, construction etc.not too useful for the average joe using it as a Honda civic but for the right business they are exactly what you need.

        Even then, most companies would be better off running 2 trucks and sets of equipment rather than 1 big truck hauling everyone and everything. It would cost a bit more than one big truck but significantly improve operational flexibility.

      normally youd get more torque because its a bigger engine but this dudes truck in the city so theres actually no point but the point is so you can pull stuff out of mud or tow your tractor or somthin on your farm

      The bed is like the truck balls, it’s only there for manly affirmation, but really serves no practical purpose.
