    Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
    smells like a steak and seats thirty-five..
    Canyonero! Canyonero!
    Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
    It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown!
    Canyonero! (Yah!) Canyonero!
    [Krusty:] Hey Hey
    The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
    Canyonero unsafe for highway or city driving.
    Canyonero!
    12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
    65 tons of American Pride!
    Canyonero! Canyonero!
    Top of the line in utility sports,
    Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
    Canyonero! Canyonero! (Yah!)
    She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
    She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!
    Canyonero!-oh woah, Canyonero! (Yah!)
    Drive Canyonero!
    Woah Canyonero!
    Woah!

      Probably. You’d be amazed at what someone with a regular license is allowed to drive. Such as the International CXT. Basically made to be just under specs that require a CDL. (To my knowledge it is mostly a weight thing. Like 26000 pounds and CDL is needed. 25999 pounds? you’re fine without.)

      The laws are pretty arbitrary and leave a lot to be desired. Which is also why you see some sketchy driving by people driving the large U-Haul box trucks and other moving rental companies. Same with trailers/campers. Any random can hook up an oversized/improperly loaded trailer to their little Ford escape and drive about.

      What do you mean? This car can trample pedestrians without the passengers noticing. That’s what it was made for.
