Honestly they’re great to drive and can often tow over 10k kilos. Not for everyone but maybe zone them out of downtowns or something. The US has more rural roads than city roads. Unimproved dirt roads and towing heavy loads are what they were made for, not trying to squeeze into a parking spot in the altstadt.
Yeah, you are never going to convince lemmings that they have a place. They have a niche and in that niche they are excellent.
I know a guy who has a industrial flooring business (epoxy coatings, grinding, etc) and he has a big fuckoff american truck. Because he lives in it 9 hours a day and tows around a trailer with ALL his work supplies and still has to pick the kids up from school and take them to sports on the weekends. Its one vehicle, it does it all and most importantly because its signwritten and its his work vehicle its 100% tax deductable.
I don’t know what country this is, but in my country he will have to pay 100% tax if he uses the company vehicle for private purposes. The driver will have to keep an auditable km registration.

They’re absolutely not “great to drive” lol
as someone with their heavy goods, 10 ton behind a pickup is terrifying
Way too heavy. Not allowed with standard drivers license in civilized countries.

Wouldn’t a van work better? No need for a trailer then.
