Watching a guy in front of me today driving a big Dodge 'dually' pickup it occurred to me that this might be the baddest, most macho vehicle there is. The big rear fenders were jutting out like it was on steroids or something, and you just knew that behind the wheel there was a seriously macho dude. I read that actor Ashton Kutcher has had some industrial-type trucks custom-converted for use as a passenger vehicle, which perhaps would beat out the dually.
What is the ultimate macho rig in your opinion? Please vote, and explain your reasoning in the comments below.

...........or, on the other hand, a dude with a insecurity complex and a very small penis.
Is "macho" still a thing? Over the years I've driven some pretty beefy trucks for work but to use them for anything else, like a general getting around vehicle, has always been a puzzler for me. I guess I just don't get that "I'm defined by what I drive" mindset.
If I had to vote for something like that, I'd pick one of those pseudo-military Hummers. Complete with a winch on the front and covered with various fog and spot lights......and guns. Guns are macho.
I don't know what the US equivalent is. But here in Australia we call it a APC - armored Personnel Carrier.
It is not a tank. It's a truck with a separate driver compartment and a passenger compartment that is sealed with only the back "tray" open able. If I find a photo I will put it here. It's used a lot on military bases. You can cram about 30 guys in the back.
Hate to break it to you but every vehicle you listed can easily be driven perfectly fine by a woman. If anyone feels the vehicle they drive "defines" them I would suggest seeking a mental health professional.
All it takes is cash or available credit and all of a sudden you are "the man"? What happens when you are not in the vehicle? Do you suddenly lose your powers?
I drive a 2006 PT Cruiser convertible.
and a Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab short box 4X4
and a Kawasaki Brute Force 750i (actually, we have 2 of them)
and a Fleetwood Southwind 32V motorhome, Ford F53 V10
I don't worry abut "macho".
If I did, I guess the 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T 440 Magnum I had in 1970 might qualify.
I suppose the multi-fuel deuce and a half I drove in RVN, 1966, qualified.
I don't suppose the AMC Eagle station wagons I had would qualify.
How about the mildly modified Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited I had? Was that "macho"?
Of all the things I have to worry about, whether my vehicles are "macho" is WAY down at the bottom of the list!
But, to each his own...
Edit: But, relating to the original post, for a while I had a 1994 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually Cummins with the 5 speed manual tranny. I guess THAT was "macho", especially with 35 bales of hay on it, towing a trailer loaded with 100 more bales.
At the time, it never occurred to me to wonder if it was "macho".
