You know, I like the design. If I can take a wrench to it and customise it or repair broken stuff easily and for cheap, even better.
The range is kinda meh, but for working in remote sites, bringing a diesel generator is already par for the course, and that bed looks like it fits a lot of stuff.
No stereo sucks though.
I'd build a mount for my DeWalt speaker that I'm already taking to my job sites who cares about a stereo
I often drive long distances for work, and I NEVER listen to the radio. All my listening is through headphones off my phone. I even keep a spare pair charging at all times. Not only does it sound a million times better than any crappy car system, it's far easier to take phone calls. I hate holding my phone while driving. It's also easier to hear the map navigation lady.
What the fuck?! Why would you ever drive with headphones?
Driving with headphones is illegal in most, if of not all of Europe, for what I though were rather obvious reasons...
Your car just has a shitty sound system in it. That experience is in no way representative of most vehicles. I drive almost 200 miles a day.
I spent much of my career in the music business, with a significant portion in the audiophile audio business. ALL car stereo systems are a shitty compromise to real high quality audio.
I used to have a 2006 Dakota quad cab with a better sound system than most living rooms. There is a reason car audio is a giant market. I can't even take you seriously.
It's a giant market because people spend a lot of money on it, mostly being loud. Loud is not the same as high quality sound.
Your ignorance is showing.
Nope, i made a living in that world for a long time. I know it well. A vehicle is the worst sound environment possible.
Just the fact that you think wearing head phones while driving is ok tells me all I need to know about you lol
People wear headphones doing lots of activities far more dangerous than driving, like running down the street, yet nobody considers that dangerous.
Buncha old ladies in this thread.
"everyone is wrong but me"
Your not driving a 3600lb metal box that can turn anything it hits into paste walking down the street. You clearly are not a serious person.
A handful of posts from judgemental people is not "everyone." Spend a day anywhere, and count the headphones/ earbuds you see, and clearly there are a lot of people on my side. They are literally EVERYWHERE.
I remember when i got my first Walkman player in the early 80s, when they were brand-new. I was shocked at the nasty looks I'd get from people in the mall, just for wearing headphones. Apparently, I have to be fully prepared at all times to hear some grand pronouncement from some stranger. Apparently, after 50 years, those nasty old biddies still exist. News flash: I care more about my music/ podcast/ audiobook than ANY opinion you have.
Headphones/ Ear Buds are more popular than ever, accept it.
The entire point is that it's super dangerous to wear them while driving. If you can't see that I don't need to engage with your intellectually dishonest ass.
Great job trying to move the goal posts though.
