Concept Cars

[LurkerNoMore]

Over the years I have seen some really good concept cars featured in auto shows.  How come they never make it to production?  Granted some have a few features and such that don't make regulations, but the majority do and have a large fan base so sales could be good.

Since I live in Ft Lauderdale, I like the smallish ones that are like SmartCars on steroids.  Or as a friend put it "on the Munzer cycle".

Sounds gay, but no pickup trucks are as big and long as the Longhauler ( see, told ya lol ). I use to drive a a Dodge 3500 Dually ( diesel of course ) and this truck would make my truck look small. Or at least smaller lol

Dodge 3500? Impressive. What is the reason for the double tires? Never undsrstood that.

It's a ten lug truck. might as well be driving an International 4700. I wonder which Cummings it has in it, probably one from a Kenworth truck or something.

The main reason is so the trucks have more stability while towing. And if a tire blows out in the back, you're still able to keep driving.

These very large pickup trucks are more like downsised lorries. Who uses these kind of trucks? Farmers? Builders?

My favorite concept vehicle :

More or less a auto expert that has never had real world experience with all the cars mentioned but def an expert in knowing stats from road and track and car and driver

You totally gave yourself away.  You're not from Texas.  The purpose of the double tires is to give a higher tow rating.  The max tow rating on the Dodge dually is 31,210 pounds and you need a commercial drivers license to tow that much.  Some of these trucks are used by commercial "hot shot" drivers to pull goose neck trailers and car trailers.

No shit sherlock. Gimmicks remember.

Wow they can tow the world. Makes more sense now. Thanx for the info. Here in europe those trucks cant even fit in parking spot.
