Wait don't you support small bikable cities and hate big trucks

Almost had me fooled, but you can tell this is a joke because at 12:28 he uses his turn signal to signal a lane change, which we all know real Dodge Ram drivers never do.

It's crazy how recording a normal day in the suburbs is literally the greatest argument against them

the fact that "tree isn't tree shaped enough" is a real HOA rule

Time traveller: moves a chair slightly The timeline:

Imagine if the whole point of the channel was an elaborate plan to get a Dodge RAM and move to the suburbs

"Now _that's_ a climate change I believe in!" Lmao, you've truly nailed the ethos of these truck owners

for viewers who have never experienced suburban USA, every scene in this video is accurate and true.

The fact that the ram was parked sideways into three spaces is fucking genius

I think the scariest part about the suburbs is how much time you spend alone despite being around so many people

"there's no bar nearby so i'm gonna turn this into a bar" literally changed my life, it's such a concise way to explain how integrated cars are into peoples lives, their home has to be everything because they're scared and isolated from everything

Only inaccurate thing in this video is that the radio is 100% ideologues. In reality it's 70% ads, 20% music and 10% ideologues.

This channel definitely needed overblown sound design and more whip transitions- you should make every single video this way. It's awesome to see you finally reveal your true self- no more explainers, please.

The only video on KZfaq that’s 100% wife’s boyfriend-approved

"Big Bicycle is waging a war on cars" lol

Congratulations on 1 million!

Hell yeah brother! Anything less than a Dodge Ram and an eight bedroom house is communism!

Can we all just take a moment and acknowledge the fact that this man willingly took the trouble to drive on the 401 to film this for his subscribers? Now that's dedication!

Plot twist: no Dutch would spontaneously hang out, you need to book them 1 month in advance

I found myself getting emotional as I watched this. As a parent of a young child I dream of a better world for them. People in the US are so asleep to what their communities could be. Yet they call themselves family friendly. Everyone should watch this video. *wiping away tears*

I love how both city slickers and actual country people both can join hands and hate on the suburbs together

mans didnt even splurge for the hummer smh what will you do after the apocalypse while the rest of us are out there driving tanks?

I especially loved the storage of two grocery items, a dozen eggs in a carton and a bag of milk sliding back and forth in the otherwise empty bed of his pickup truck.

this channel has really helped me articulate the vague unease ive always had around my hometown, and why pedestrianized areas always felt more comfortable. i can put specific vocabulary to specific problems now. its great to know im not being weird about this, or picky, or uppity. there are serious genuine problems here and the solutions would help Everyone

MY KING!!! The only climate man can change is the one inside a big big truck. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS AND THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME?!!??

What a rigggg!!!! Those bike riding climate alarmists won't know what hit em!!

Maybe the real treasure was the children we crushed along the way.

I can'tstand that sound everyday going to work. Here's an orange donation.

When I saw the truck was parked horizontally across 3 parking spaces, that's when I knew this channel really made sure to get the details perfect.

Yes bro!!! That front grille was voted best skull mincer in my paediatric emergency department!! Awesome choice!!! Peace out - Dr Kyle Xtreem 🤘

Congrats! Finding your channel a year ago led me down a rabbit hole that ended in me selling my car and moving to a walkable city. I am happier now! Keep changing lives :)

As some basic fork operator I'm now of the opinion that if your truck can't easily load a pallet of concrete then you don't need a truck. Also if you ain't hauling shit for your job then you ain't in the need of a truck either. Love the video!!

“The more space you waste, the more important you are” the best line ever!

Happy to see you finally escaping that socialist hellhole. I wish I could afford to leave Europe, but I spend too much money paying for your gas on Patreon

This is so insanely on point. I deliver food to these people all the time, and the ultra rich as well (who always tip like GARBAGE, btw) with their massive estates, some of them living on literal islands in the middle of suburbia. It's Suburbiaception. I will never understand it.

Dude I'm like, the biggest car guy EVER, and I am so with you with your content. I wouldnt mind having cars as toys for special tracks only in exchange for walkable cities for everyone, the american logic is beyond absurd.

The most unrealistic part of this video is when he went inside from the backyard and could no longer hear the leaf-blower.

As an European, I gotta say thank you a lot, I had ultra romanticized suburbia (even thinking to move to USA), you know, movies, etc. The thing is that you actually demonstrate that this is all fake, thank you and congrats for the million!

This is shocking. Here even suburbs are usually centered around being walkable and with good bike infrastructure and public transport, like that's half the salespitch of a good suburban home is being able to have your kids walk to school and the grocery store and activities on their own safely. How do people live like this, having to drive everywhere? 😬

Absolutely loved your sarcasm! And the fact you didnt only critique your regular topics but also took mental health and relationships into account was the cherry on top!

Imagine being an orangepilled cyclist and looking over to see Jason yelling at you in a dodge ram truck 💀💀💀

As a Scandinavian who just recently visited family in California, this felt way too real. I'm almost 2 meters tall and still had to jump to get into my in-laws car, and "just outside LA" meant an hour drive. If we weren't able to borrow a car we were basically locked inside the house.

Serendipitously bumping into a buddy for an impromptu beer is literally the best part of living in a walkeable neighborhood!

I live in Poland, in a post-industrial region too. It means there are many ugly parts of the city, poor roads and not very pretty districts. I'm used to such views. But every time I watch one of your videos with those horrible stroads and cities I feel so depressed. Even the ugliest parts of my city aren't so sad, so hopeless, so inhuman. Sooner or later you land three streets farther and there are shops, houses, offices, parks, forests etc. I always realized my country was not very rich nor advanced. Until I saw North American urban environment. Now I'm grateful to live where I live. And while Poland may be not that great, it still is in a way a better place to live than USA or Canada, I think. My block is situated three minute by walk to the beautiful park, ten minutes walk to the shopping mall, city centre is another twenty minutes walk... I have a library two streets from my apartament. My vet is ten minute ride by car or by bus (yes, we have lots of buses here, like thirty? Maybe more bus lines and trams too😂 - my city is not very big, has a hundred and twenty thousands people, but there are other cities around, we all are like one big city😅). ...I think I'm quite lucky 😛

"Big bicycle is waging a war on cars." Has to be my favorite quote. Big bicycle sure is scary.

Living the dream! You don’t even need a map to find your new house, all you need to do is follow the traffic. Congrats, dude!!

This is unrelated to this video, but I wanted to share a little thing here. A little over a year ago I bought an electric scooter, and I told everyone in my family “this is just to bridge the way to getting a car.” All of my siblings (I’m the youngest of 4) took out loans for cars, or received hand-me-down cars as gifts from elders in the family. I on the other hand have been saddled with paying 5$ a day for bus passes on a transit system that’s awful and inconsistent, resulting in the once a week-ish required 15$ Uber to get home from work. How could I save up for a car when so much money is lost just to be *able* to work, right? The scooter was part of a bigger plan to eliminate as many costs as I could so I could just brute force saving up for a car. But then something changed! I started to like riding the scooter! And one of my sisters who doesn’t currently have a car even became a bit jealous of my ability to just come and go as I please (within a reasonable distance lol) The scooter became my favorite thing I own! Months passed and the idea of getting a car started to sound worse and worse. I always dreaded the idea of *needing* a car, because the bills my brother tells me about sound horrible. And the entirely unpredictable lethality of someone else not being as responsible as you are was scary to me, but before the scooter I just assumed that was just part of being an adult. I started to think about “wouldn’t it be nice to live somewhere walkable?” Needless to say, simple research on a whim led me down the rabbit hole of transportation infrastructure in America, and how awful it is for absolutely no good reason. Yadda yadda, one two three, I found this channel and binged almost every video in about 2 weeks (love the content btw) My attachment for my scooter only grew stronger, and my hatred for what car-dependence has done to the roads became more cemented. Now it’s something I think about on a daily basis. And wouldn’t you know it… I was hit by a damn car. Just went out to get a snack at a gas station, and got hit by a car as tall as me when crossing a yield turn. Thank goodness they weren’t going too fast, but they sure weren’t paying attention either. I sustained a broken fibula, lucky me that’s actually best case scenario. I just can’t walk for 4 weeks - 3 months but it will heal for sure. My scooter on the other hand… the front wheel turned so hard it’s now oriented horizontally with the handlebars. It’s probably unsalvageable. And I can’t even really bother to try and work on fixing it on account of the broken leg. I was proud that I was the only one who never needed to take a loan or borrow money in my family for the sake of a car. Go figure, now I have, and i didn’t get a car for it… I got a broken leg. You might ask “wouldn’t your insurance cover hospital costs?” I don’t have insurance “What about the driver who hit you?” Get this - I was *hit by a goddamn car*. I was on the floor, writhing in pain. Bleeding, unable to walk, barely able to focus. And I’ve never ever ever been in a situation like this, and i don’t like drama lol. Which is such a silly thing to say on the topic of getting car smashed. But the point is, I let the guy go. He was nice enough to help me off the road, and help my scooter off the road too just in case it *is* salvageable. But he had places to be, and I let him go. And if I had the peace of mind to go back and rope the guy into this all without being in a knockout daze, I still don’t think I would. I value my life and don’t take it lightly, yet at the same time I hate the idea of ruining someone else’s life over something so dumb. I’m in debt now, I’ll need a new scooter to get to work but before *that* I’ll have to take crappy bus rides again, and before *that* I need to finish recovering (it’s been about 3 weeks since the incident, I’m no longer in pain, just unable to walk) Now, where am I going with all this? It was an accident. But it was at a yield turn, technically I burden like- maybe 5% of the fault too for not fully paying attention to him either, but good lord. Could you imagine? This whole situation is like an unlucky lucky miracle. I survived and I *can* deal with the costs. But if you tweak any minor detail about the story? I’d probably be dead. A whole ended life, just because I wanted a snack one day. Cars are goddamn scary, and I think I can say with confidence now that I’m not gonna save up for one, even when I’m free of debt.

Good thing I found this awesome pro-car channel amidst all these pesky left-wing green "climate change" doomers. Finally someone who understands what's really important to us! Can't wait for your next video. We really need more media that caters to the last few remaining car enthusiasts out there.

Just throwing the cart in the middle of the parking lot and not putting it away was a good touch 😂

#jealous. Gotta get me one of those. Good for you Jason!

The bottle of copium is HILARIOUS. Well done, and congrats on 1M!

"extra cup holders, for the kids to park their beers." OK, that got me laughing. Also, your AM radio was NOT angry enough.

This character is so well written that when he lets a cart loose on a parking lot, you're like, "yep, expected that"

"Just cars" Legal disclaimer: the Ram 4500 Warlock Edition is not legally a car, and is therefor exempt from the emissions and safety standards that cars are held to. Results may vary.

"We got the 395 Horsepower, 5.7 liter HEMI V8 engine!" *camera pushes in to massive 3.6L label* This is gunna be good!

The contrast is so stark. It's honestly so depressing living in suburban America.

Oh hell yeah! That house is enormous, you must be super important! Grats bro!

You deserve it, Jason! This is a brave and refreshing new direction you're taking this KZfaq channel. I think I speak for everyone when I say we want more content about homeowner's associations.

OPEC, BP, Exxon, & friends congratulate you on your purchase of a brand new (in)efficient truck which will never be used for it’s intended purpose!

"Suburbs aren't loud but this truck is loud" is my favorite catchphrase from JustCars

There's a very subtle joke here that's really great that not many people will spot unless they're familiar with the area: all the suburbia clips are a mishmash of several different towns in and around York Region north of Toronto which I'm pretty sure is a deliberate jab at the fact that all of suburbia looks like the same featureless glop no matter where you go. 0:00 is obviously in Aurora 3:48 Bayview & Major Mack is in Richmond Hill 5:04 I'm like 90% sure this is Hwy 404 at Hwy 407 which is in Markham 6:11 The 401 is in North York 7:04 Weston Road is in Vaughan, VMC in the background 11:54 This bit of Stouffville Rd I think might technically be in Stouffville I'm not 100% sure (suburban Stouffville is a little out of the way but it also looks like everywhere featured) 14:18 Davis Drive is in Newmarket (which would indeed be 3 hours away from downtown Toronto by transit.) 15:20 The spaghetti junction at Pearson airport I'm p sure is just within Mississauga Also shoutout to the continuity error at 15:08 where NJB is on a viva bus to Finch station but then it cuts to Pioneer Village station on the other side of line 1. Just shows how wildly varied he travelled for this video.

Congrats on moving to paradise my man! All the conveniences you could ever want, just 30 minutes in any direction. 😎 And look at all the exercise you're getting from jumping into the cab! 💪 Suck it Big Bicycle!

this actually made me feel deeply sad for people who have to live in america. the level of calmness that you managed to contrast with as soon as you got on transit was phenomenal. well done!

"It's got these extra cup holders for the kids to park their beers" *True American Classic*

After watching this, all the memories come flooding back. You're living the dream man! That's it, back to Winnipeg for me!

Just wanna note my appreciation for the "calling all your friends desperate to hang out but no one will come over because it takes three hours to get to your house" bit. I went from living in a big city in college where all of my friends were

"Checkmate, urbanists!" Hell, this video is so full of golden lines like this.

I dont usually comment on your videos but when the train lady said “het volgende station” I actually started to tear up. I grew up in Florida in a suburban night mare. My first time taking the train from Schiphol was one of the most life changing experiences of my life. It really felt like e waking up from a horrible nightmare. Just seeing that having a life that doesn’t revolve around cars can exist.Now I’m about to start at the University of Groningen to study Spatial Planning and Design. I always wanted to study urban planning but there were no real options for me to do so in Florida. Thanks for your content, it has been life changing and influential for me.

“Big bicycle is waging a war on cars” genius 😂

This is the life Big Bicycle wants to take from you. Stay strong brothers.

This was absolutely brilliant, funny and sad. You nailed the suburbs perfectly. It also reinforced my already existing hatred of suburbs. My only problem now is trying to find a nice walkable city I can afford.

Funny thing is that countries with dense urban areas, like Europe and Japan, make better cars than US.

Laughed so hard when he threw away the shopping trolley, that's exactly what this kind of perso would do

I live in Germany and this makes me depressed thinking there is literally a few hundred million living like this, and then still holding onto it as if it was something good.

Shoving the shopping cart away and leaving made me laugh out loud

I think I get now, why most americans are overweight: They sit in their cars while getting something to eat, eating, literally everything. As you said, they don't want to use the legs they've grown. Thanks for the video. At first I was like really shocked until I noticed that this is pure irony. Congrats for a million subscribers!

The bit about friends cancelling because it's too hard to get out to the suburbs hit *real* hard

All irony aside, I got _weirdly_ emotional during the entire montage after the orange pill. Over the course of the pandemic, NJB slowly opened my eyes to issues I never even knew my country (🇵🇭) had, and now I can never unsee them. Congrats on 1M, Jason, the international positive influence of this channel cannot be overstated.

2:30 ‘Maybe a dog if we got rid of one of the kids’ 🤣classic!

Literally all the KZfaq ads on this video are for trucks. Lololol

Pro tip, my friend: back at the Walmart, when you were taking up 2 parking spaces, you coulda grabbed at least 6 with just a little creative effort. Show those priusoids what you think of their "reserved for compact car" spaces. Keep living the dream, man!

This is genuinely a masterpiece of a video, probably the best you've ever made. The sheer dedication to the bit, the editing, and show not tell jokes are really a magnum opus of critiques on suburban life. The sheer difference in the last several minutes genuinely made me emotional, and was such an incredible climax to the video. You absolutely deserve 1 million subscribers.

i always kinda assumed living in us suburbia was more pleasantville and less purgatory. the luxury of having only viewed all this through the hollywood lens as an european, it seemd much more appealing than it, in fact, is.

"no shade" . dont ever come to brazil, bro. also, my sides hurt from the milk and eggs on the back of the truck. i love you

Man you gotta get a new doctor. Thank god your sorted that out, one more trip on YRT would have been the end of me!

As horrible as suburban/freeway traffic is, this video didn't even show the worst of it. The worst part isn't sitting in traffic jams. It's fighting your way across all those lanes to either reach your exit or avoid getting "scooped" into a direction you don't want to go when the freeway splits, while everybody else is doing the same. Having one or more close brushes with anything from hundreds to thousands of dollars in economic damage (pay that deductible plus increased insurance rates to get your truck/SUV fixed) to ending up maimed or dead every time you go to and from work or any other destination.

This was soooo awesome. Just came back from Denmark, Spain and Sweden. Spaces are so much better allocated and transit everywhere. We did not have to look at a schedule in Copenhagen as a Metro was coming every 3 minutes or less. It was so great seeing all these people out and enjoying themselves, such a great contrast to USA. I wonder for myself why we want to live like this?

2:34 _"It's got these extra cupholders for the kids to _*_park_*_ their beers"_ Great writing!

Love how he says “5.7L engine” while showing footage of the engine with “3.6L” in big bold text. Absolutely perfect representation, no notes

“extra bright halogen lights guaranteed to blind any Prius driver within 600 yards” - as a Prius driver in North America. I FELT that 😂😂😂 Congrats on 1M!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I love the touch of the character just rolling the shopping trolley out into the parking lot. 100%

Should have gotten the Ferd F-450 Cool Ranch Platuimn Boot Licking Edition instead, that dodge doesn't have enough towing capacity for the youtuber yacht

I just got back from a trip to Amsterdam, and traveling there with my toddler made me feel shame for how we Americans don’t really prioritize spaces for little people. Bikes and transit too, yes; but in the Netherlands they invest in beautiful play spaces that are everywhere. No need for everyone to have a yard and terrible, home-mart play set. Please, do a video on these spaces and show the world what community play spaces could be.

The million subscribers are deserved! Clean informational videos of high quality that makes people rethink their own living environment. An absolute gem of a channel. Congratulations Jason!!!

Huge congrats, man. I know this is just a starter home, but after your next million you can totally upgrade to something a little bigger and farther away from the city (too much noise!!). Love the truck! Have you considered a lift kit??

Of all the things that matter about bike-friendly cities designed around public transport, you managed to capture what makes them so special: peacefulness, and socialisation. The contrast between the first part of the video with a constant noise and grey surroundings, against the second with a sudden silence and lively environment was a poetic way to put all this. Kudos!

I'm an Australian and this video makes me ashamed to own my truck. It works every day of its life as a trade and towing vehicle, it gets the work it deserves but good lord is it huge, and thats as a comparatively small Australian ute. I was honestly tearing up watching this, it made me miss my (comparitively) little 05' Forester. Im lucky to live in the relatively mixed suburbs of a midsized Australian town so i can still walk to local restaurants, my younger sister can walk to school, and public transport is juuuuust good enough to get my university friends out and about but I dont know what I'd do without a car. I was in Japan recently for holiday and their cities are amazing. Tokyo had an incredible density of 7-11s, grocery stores, and restaurants. Nobody drives trucks, I saw one the entire time I was there and it was near the American military base. They know better than us. Hopefully we'll figure it out eventually. Until then, I can only hope that it doesnt get worse.

I just love how you tell the story in your videos. Comedic and informative. for this one I could literally listen to the audio and still have a rough picture of what you are talking about.

Wow finally! As a Dutch person I was so confused by this channel for so long! Why would someone from infrastructure paradise come live here? Glad you were able to finally get such a sweet ride, in a place where that's a bit more affordable!

I work on vehicles for a living and that scene where you struggled to open the hood on the RAM and then blatantly called it a 5.7 L Hemi engine when we were clearly looking at the 3.6 L V6 had me rolling on the floor. In a real truck review, stuff like that would be unforgivable but here it just added to the sense that you just don't give a crap about trucks. Absolutely glorious satire.
