Some of the roads here in the UK are very old as you said, like 2000 years old from the Roman invasion, i dont see the difference driving this pick up and daily driving a big van like a LWB Mercedes Sprinter around our small roads, i think its his lack of driving skills that make it look difficult 🤣
😂😂😂😂
As for the woman at the petrol pumps... the more controlled and polite we are, the angrier we are! It's all in the tone of voice...
That’s interesting it’s completely opposite of what you see here. Thanks for the information
Sarcastic thankyou
If you drive a vehicle over 3.5 tons in Europe Like tesla cybertruck Or a truck with a long bed , you need a C driving license for trucks and it's harder to get than driving license for normal cars.
Really? That’s interesting. Thank you for the comment
Over dramatic. He can't drive
At the petrol pump, notice the white van, the same white van he had to squeeze past earlier. That whole segment is set up.
Oh I guess I didn’t put that together 🤷🏻♂️
It’s a completely different type of van? They are both white, but apart from that they aren’t the same
@@rory9659you’re right 🤦♂️
There's more than one white van lol
The lady was not being polite. That, for a Brit, is virtually a threat of violence. We use polite language and we get more polite as we get angrier.
Interesting 🤔
the car "half the width " isn't its just father away.
Where else are we supposed to park lol yes it's the norm to park along the side of the Rd and if it's a very , very narrow Rd part way onto the path. Small landmass small roads small cars 😊
Yeah I guess that makes sense, I know it’s illegal here to do that, because of people walking or using wheelchairs
That's NOT a one lane road ! It's a NORMAL British road.
OUR roads are built for OUR cars, so they are NOT narrow to us.
Petrol stations are usually ONE WAY only. You drive in one way and exit in the same direction. If the truck wasn't there, the car could drive past and exit the petrol station. The truck is blocking him in.
AM EX is not usually accepted in the UK.
The guy riding in the back of the truck is committing an illegal offence in the UK.
The lady at the petrol pump was very angry, Brit style!. For her to even have said anything in the first place is unusual. But for us, you stay calm but firm, and make your point. If you shout you are rude and lose all moral high ground haha.
Imagine driving in a narrow street with the driver's seat on the wrong side of the car.
Also, I don't understand why all American cars have to be oversized. Most of the time they only have 1 or 2 occupants.
I live in Australia, and we are just getting this truck here, although they are extremely expensive (at least double to the US price, and sometimes even triple).
Australia has much bigger roads, but our parking spaces are not, and it's a pain when someone parks their Ram or F-150 in multiple parking spaces because they don't fit, or the truck sticks out so far behind the space that other cars can't get round. The average pickup truck in Australia is the Ford Ranger, the bigger trucks just don't fit.
When he got fuel,he went in front of someone already at the pump ,who was almost ready to go,alot of people do not do that and stay behind and que , with this large truck he is going to be a while filling up and the car behind is not happy. i would not be.
4:15, its a 2 way street... if you have not a tank for driving around, normal cars will fit thru!
btw: my car is even small as the Vauxhall behind his tank...
and if you park me in the same way, you leaving the gas station with dents in our face/body!! because you dont have a gun!
You can park pretty much anywhere there isn’t yellow lines
Because in the states you get loud and start shouting over anything
Here in England if we get to the point we start raising our voices your seconds away from a fight
He is not used to driving a normal sized vehicle. 😅😅
The guy from CarWow is basically like the new Jeremy Clarkson. He bags on American cars whenever he can.
because we in europe we dont sue eachother ;-)
matts just making a meal of it uk drivers are good especially people that drive bigger vehicles i have a 110 landrover defender and normally pull a large trailer and i have no issues at all down to skill of the driver i would say,american cars are wider as americans are wider lol
Ok thanks, I see how you slid a fat joke in there😂
@@_Kicks1 sorry couldn't help it
@@graham-martin5847 no worries it was good😂
the van is a lot narrower, and with the almost cab over design of vans you have some clue where the bumper is.. for example at 3:37 is the ram in line with black cars bumper, wheel, door, what...
Oh ok that makes sense, thanks for the comment
It's obviously overreacted. There are plenty of narrow roads, etc, but I'm sure they placed some of those cars in the way and had people act angry.
I got to the end. Hope everyone else does too.
Thank you so much💙
I would but had to stop watching. Dude is yapping too much so, just gonna go to the original video.
i went to the UK, many UK drivers must have been born in the USA, bad drivers!
Why do you make your trucks so big in the US?, you are the same size as us in the UK so why do you need bigger trucks? it just means you have to struggle more to get in it and manouver around!. In the US you treat the fuel station as a rest stop, for us in the UK it's a fuel and move on.
theyre not this truck is way way bigger than even the massive ford f150 the most popular truck in the usa, most trucks are like half the size of this thing like bro its called the 'mammoth'.
No, cars just wait their turn. The van driver is being a bit selfish, but that's fairly usual. Vehicles that big are not normal here and frankly, he could go with half a tank.
That is true he didn’t need to fill it
UK roads were basically made for horse and carts, not Motor vehicles
It’s all staged and over dramatic. It’s literally maybe 6 inches wider than your average car, and definitely not any bigger then your average off-road vehicle you have there. Hell It’s way smaller than a straight truck or semi truck. This is just idiotic
That is not a one-lane road and yes, it is legal. It makes life difficult for those of us who use wheelchairs. It shouldn't be legal.
Driving that monstrosity should not be legal either. It's a ridiculous size. The white van was much smaller. Americans are definitely over-compensating for feelings of inadequacy.
You think it’s over compensating🤔 that may have been the case decades ago but now it’s just the norm🤷🏻♂️
You really don't understand the point of this truck. It is for overlanding at high speeds in a Baja-style terrain. Only the Ford Raptor can match this vehicle in this area. No Range Rover or Toyota or G-Wagon can even come close. Frankly, you are sounding very provincial and narrow-minded. Obviously, you would never buy a truck like this for driving on the narrow roads of England and going to McDonalds drive through.
@@norwegianblue2017Dog, I live in a state where people most Literly own nothing but pick ups. I worked with these people for many years. Not a SINGLE one of them use pick ups to haul anything. Everyone I ever spoke to has always wanted a big truck because they WANT a big truck 😂 My boss picked up a blacked out RAM and first thing he did was slap bigger rims and wheels on it. It doesn't matter what its "meant for" its what people use it for and all I have ever seen were middle aged ciss white men drive theaw stupid thing. Its 100% them compensating.
It's not legal to park up on a pavement. Not in Scotland anyway, not sure if England. Most people don't report it but they can and if need to, do. Exactly for public access to pavements.
@@N54.S6 Okay, but that's not the truck's fault. This truck is purpose-built as much as a Porsche GT3.
A1 steak sauce is originally British. Brown sauce is horrible. I wouldn't recommend it.
Oh ok thanks for the warning
@@_Kicks1 brown sauce is one of the best sauces that exists, eating breakfast without brown sauce is just said. Brown sauce is nothing like a1 steak sauce that stuff is inedible.
he cant drive
These trucks are garbage
