    That probably has something to do with the fact that the M1 Abrams was not intended as an overpriced status object designed purely to make spoilt and privileged suburbanites make themselves feel superior to anyone walking in the street.

      I want to say that these trucks do have legitimate use cases, however, if you look at the available features, and compare that against the use case for a truck like these, then you’ll probably be confused as to why many of the features are even available at all.

        A lot of those purposes can be better served by other vehicles. Work vans provide pretty much the same cargo space except enclosed. Plus the most popular style has a giant crew cab and a tiny bed, which is the opposite of what you want unless you’re towing a trailer and have a bunch of people to haul around. So unless you own a lawn care company you don’t really need it.
