It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

It’s a shame that anything close to that will never come to the U.S.
You mean a 3 wheeler? Yeah, because they kept killing people. 4 wheeled UTVs are very popular.
I might fuck with a reverse trike though...
If you enjoy looking like a dork sure
Mostly, IDGAF. They look fun and if that bothers someone else, that's their problem.
It's for your ranch/ farm. All that being said, my utv is already scary to drive on the trails.
Yeah I've already known people who have died on 4 wheel UTVs
I believe it! It's a lot safer than a trike, though.
Never say never.
Even if they did, they'd never sell. Everyone in America is so batshit insane with the expectation of everything NOW-NOW-NOW that practically no one would tolerate a "truck" that can't do 120 MPH or 0-60 in 4 seconds.
On the more prosaic side, there is no way in hell these things would pass American crash safety tests nor comply with vehicle equipment and safety regulations without a significant redesign that would add a lot of complexity and cost. Maybe you could get them rammed through as "motorcycles." They would have the same stigma as motorcycles among the general populace. These things would be absolute litigation machines in the US.
Classify them as some sort of tractor maybe?
Definitely yeah, or they can modify the definition of low speed vehicles they already have. But a lot of states are trying to ban those because m o n e y
We can't even sell non-V8 trucks to traditional truck drivers yet. 🥹 Can't coal-roll with an F150 Lightning.
Reminder: If you see someone rolling coal, it's morally OK to relocate their stem valves.
Plenty of F150s are V6s.
True. I wasn't being entirely objective. 😅
You mean like a 4 wheeled UTV? They sell them all the time. What are you talking about?
