I tow a caravan around Australia full time. I work from the van. Live in it.

I have what is now considered a very small 4wd. It’s older, small by today’s standards, and it’s insanely capable.

The new 4wds are all trying to copy the American mega utes. Because “i haven’t grown up yet” men (by and large) think these things are 'just awesome".

If it wasn’t such a concern, it would be comical.

But, these emotionally backward guys think they are big boys now (I’M A BIG BOY MUMMY!!!) and because of that, and the copycat marketing that the Japanese, and now, Chinese brands are bringing, the only way out is through regulation.

They are NOT needed. Again, I live full time towing, and everything these emotionally removed fanboys tell you is utter tripe.

They just want a big boy truck. So they can pretend they too, are big boys.

Bless their cotton socks.
