The Ultimate Guide To Big Vehicles
When it comes to driving, most petrolheads are obsessed with speed. It’s all about what’s under the bonnet and how much power the can produce. It’s about how sleek and stylish the car looks and how fast it’ll go round the track. However, there’s another type of petrolhead. There’s the car enthusiast who loves size. When it comes to cars, it’s all about the biggest and the best.
That’s what we’re looking at today. The big vehicles that many of us obsess over. Most of these vehicles emerged from the United States where there is a big obsession with size. The large pickup trucks and SUV culture all began in the cities of America. The gas guzzling giants still dominate the roads over there. With that in mind, we picked our favourites for you today.
The Hummer
There is no greater example of size and power than the Hummer. It is a sheer, unadulterated nod to indulgence. It may well be the least practical car ever created, but it certainly knows how to make itself known. You can’t help but take notice when it drives past you. It’s large body sits on top of oversized wheels. Then its fierce grill snarls at the road. The design is so iconic, we’ve started to see limos built in the same style. You can’t help but feel magnificent when driving one.
Ford Pickup Truck
Another American icon, the pickup truck has grown to be a symbol of size and power. Much like the Hummer, they dominate the roads and turn heads wherever they go. Pickup trucks have actually become very popular among families now too. The size offers space and safety on the school run and you’ll find plenty in family neighbourhoods. With the open back space they are practical and powerful. It seems that every car manufacturer now makes one. But it’s the original Ford pickup that we love.
Ford Transit Van
When it comes to vans, nothing does the job better than the traditional Ford Transit. It’s the van that all others were built to follow. There’s something about sitting behind the wheel of a van that fills you with excitement. The high seats, large steering wheel and heavy weight has all the hallmarks of a big, powerful vehicle. There’s a reason why the Ford Transit is a bestseller at dealers like vanwisegroup.co.uk.
Land Rover Range Rover
The rise of 4x4s and SUVs has been unstoppable. Both in the USA and the UK, the demand for the traditional off-road vehicle has risen wildly. Every car manufacturer now has an SUV in their range, but it’s the original Range Rover that we love. The safety and practicality of 4x4s have become an essential criteria for the modern family. The Range Rover provides that in bucket loads. However, it hasn’t neglected its roots either and will handle off-road better than any other on the market.
For some of us, nothing satisfies like the feeling of driving a huge vehicle. Speed and style are great, but it’s weight and dominance that we love. Let us know which big vehicle is your favourite.
