uh, american pickups/"trucks" (it's a fucking ute ffs) are starting to be pretty widely called "yank tanks" in australia and widely derided - sometimes deliberately scratched up
not downplaying the racism of the r*cer term, but anti-kkkrackoid sentiment is starting to spread
the Ute being an australian automotive cultural touchstone and something we use to fiercely shit on yankoids for is a weird one, might be worth an effortpost sometime
It looks weird to me though, as I actually am regularly around pickups that are meant to get dirty, so i see “car in front, flatbed in back” and get confused thinking of a regular car with construction site level dust everywhere

That first ever Oz ute from 1934 is a look. Running boards wide as surfboards, rear-hinged doors.
