The excuse for buying these compensators is they need them to tow. And yet I've rarely seen one ever used to tow. I saw this juxtaposition in my local area:

That's not a truck, it's an obnoxious fashion statement.
At the same time, I've seen trucks just like that (maybe not as long) towing flatbed trailers with literal tons of stuff on the back. The sort of shit you need a forklift or tractor to load and unload. I've also seen those same forklifts and tractors on trailers.
The thing is, I live way out in the boonies, so that shit is common to see.
This same truck in any sort of city is an obnoxious fashion statement. It's all about location.
FTFY: That’s not a truck, it’s an obnoxious ~~fashion~~ compensation for lack of dick statement.
It's so big, he could probably just put the horse in the glove compartment.
