      Have you ever been to another country though? The kinds of cars handymen in Europe prefer are usually a van like T6 or Sprinter, the latter being 20 feet long. For a good pro, their van usually contains a supermarket’s worth of tools and materials nearly assembled and ready to use. You can’t just assume America is the only place that needs hauling stuff.

      Other countries have vehicles that are sized to accommodate the conditions; smaller roads, less space, and different emissions laws. America wasn’t built based on 1,500+ year old roads.

      You can’t have an 8ft wide dually with a 20ft trailer to take an excavator to a job site in London, you need a lorry. You would be laughed at because you can’t maneuver that setup around and would get fucked in pinch points on a one-way street.
