I love SUVs and big, Bubba Truck pickups. I drive a lifted, gas guzzling SUV.
But this thing is not an SUV; it is a Semi Tractor, period. It can probably tow 50K pounds, but it can't go 1/4th the places my 4WD SUV can. I can only two 5K pounds, but the UTILITY part is there. I have interior storage/cartage room. He has none.
YOur friend at work has too much money. Tell him to send me some.
sounds like you have too much money too.
/drive a small POS car
//rather than spend $30000 on something that is basically a tool to get me from point A to point B, i put that money into my house.
///people who spend $50000 on a car are just plain dumb

I can't say if the 5th wheel is good or bad....it may be necessary to be that big (as opposed to a real RV), towing race cars and stuff gets heavy.
however jesus...buy a freaking basic car to get around in. If I owned the lot and someone pulled this into a space I'd have to tow it, the guy in front probably can't back out now, the guys on the side either cannot even open their doors or they are already dinged and chances are sooner or later the guy behind is going to get tapped....not to mention now 2 way traffic has to yield to pass this thing + blindly go around it.....the guys parking beside this thing will have to back out blindly as well.
It's a slap in the face to the rest of society as a daily driver (I doubt it is though) and there are many that if slapped even virtually will be waiting with a nice piece of hickory.

WTF? I thought they would have LOADS and LOADS of HP but I guess not?
Maybe they have like 1000lbs/ft of torque?
What about those bigger trucks what are the specs on those?

no wonder gas prices are going up.... with suburban people driving these things
also if he's rich enough to buy this thing, he should be able to afford another 10k for a corolla as his daily driver .... this thing would be a nightmare downtown..... mate you could carry a corolla on the back of that thing!

My idea if I had disposable income and time is a very nice convertible, and a fresh bed and room taken care of by someone else, instead of herding my abode around behind me. To each his/her own!
