Fuck Cars
This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.
This community exists for the following reasons:
- to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
- to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.
You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.
Rules
-
Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn't choose car-centric life out of free will.
-
No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don't use slurs. You can laugh at someone's fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.
-
Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don't post literal car fucking.
-
No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.
-
No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn't a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.
-
No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.
-
No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.
Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.

The old Ranger wasn't a sensible pickup though. Those things are for people that want a pickup shaped object but don't want a full size.
If a 4x8 sheet won't fit flat in the bed it's just a toy designed to carry other toys around.
You know most modern trucks have a smaller bed than that little truck? Modern trucks are just minivans for insecure men.
What percentage of F150s have the maximum bed size for that vehicle which is 8 ft?
How much drywall do you think has been moved with a pickup with a box shorter than 8 ft?
What percentage of pickup trucks do you see without a single paint scuff in the box?
It's not the size of a truck that makes it a toy.
No clue.
Sheets fit in the bed of a 6.75' bed with the tailgate down. I prefer the old short beds for city work because they are far easier to park.
I have a Maverick. Sheet goods fit perfectly well in the short bed with the tailgate in the halfway down position. The guys at the lumberyard are always skeptical when I pull up and then really impressed when I drive off with a load of drywall in my "toy truck".
On top of the wheelwells? So no tools on top? Toy truck.
