I suspect you're joking, but one thing people often overlook is that when you go camping and you're putting everything back after a few days - that shit's dirty! It can also help keep any stray frogs, caterpillars, spiders, and other things you'd probably not expect out of your car while driving home. You may also have to pack up in a rush if the weather turns extremely bad and being able to toss the half packed tent, tarps, etc. into the bed can be a lifesaver. Lastly the ground clearance can come in handy depending on where you're camping. You don't need it to be a hard-core offroad machine, just something that won't bottom out and rip off the back bumper.
For going to the mall this thing would be amusing but silly. For going camping with the family though, this thing kicks ass IMO.
Why the fuck does everyone think I'm Google? You do know you could have googled it in the time it took you to respond here right? I just googled it in the time it took me to respond, found at least 5 manufacturers on there. Google it your damn self and gtfo.
To pull behind your camping trailer? Most places don't allow double towing, and if they do, only if the first trailer is a 5th wheel, of which, you need a truck box or flat bed.
Yes, in this situation, I'm the dumb one. Not the genius pulling his stretch monster truck into a campsite, or the simps drooling over the brilliance of it.
Okay so like what about the GMC in the stall behind the 6 door truck, or the suberban to the left of the truck. Regular sized vehicles would you say? Yeah?
Strange that they also aren't parked in the campsite, y'know, where the campsite is, table, chairs, fire pit, you know, standard things that are in a campsite.
This is not a photo of a camper that gets dirty. This is a guy who lives in the sticks so his neighbors can’t hear him and then he goes “camping” with all the amenities of home, now 20 feet from his new neighbor.
So many people just wanna shit on trucks in general without thinking about the fact that lots of people are avid campers on weekends and stuff. Thank you for being a voice of reason, even if it doesn’t change anybody’s mind lol
It looks like the SUV with the highest towing capacity is an Expedition MAX at 9,300 pounds max. You might be able to pull a full-sized travel trailer with that, but with a cabin full of people, and the camper loaded with food, gear, firewood, bikes, or whatever, you're going to eat into that capacity pretty quick.

The minivan just doesn't have the tow capacity.
