            I don’t think those are street legal in the US though. We have one at my work but it can only be used on private property.

              They are designed specifically to be street legal commercial vehicles (aka no CDL required) in most US states.

              I’ve seen a handful of them on the road over the years. There used to be a red one that must’ve been owned locally as I saw it a number of times.

                I could be wrong. It might just be the one they have at my job isn’t street legal, but maybe they are overall.

            That truck looks like shit with those wheels. Hell it would look like shit on any wheels

            Edit: oh I see, it’s supposed to be used for powerline maintenance with a lift installed in the back, not like a regular pickup
