    I’ve hired industrial flooring companies. Those floor grinders are huge and extremely heavy and there’s a lot of other equipment needed as well. It would not fit in a van, and neither would his kids. He needs more seating and a huge trailer. You don’t need special license to tow huge trailers in the US. Little trailers are more difficult to back up anyway.

    Not nearly as many people “need” a big truck as own them, but some people do. The landscaping crew that comes to take care of the 7 acre property at my work (30,000 sq meters) brings 3-4 guys, two big zero turn mowers, a smaller mower, a bunch of trimmers and other small equipment. One truck, one trailer.

      Thankyou, that was exactly my point.

      They are wildly oversold to people who have very little reason to own one, but for certain use cases they are absolutely brilliant.
