TranscriptionA picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

Or if you’re like my neighbor you live in a town house and never tow anything and never use the bed for anything.

I have 4 acres of land and I tow my mower down to my land every weekend to clean up. So I use my truck all the time for towing and I also haul things at least once a month. Not all truck owners do it just for the truck. If I didn't need a truck I wouldn't own one.

Which is why you aren't the target of the meme. It's the city dwellers who never leave the city but have a 2 ton pickup that barely fits in the narrower, low speed lanes in cities and take up 2-4 compact parking spots who are the target.

Then congratulations, this meme isn't about you so maybe you don't need to feel attacked yeh?

Are you the neighbor? Weird spot to defend yourself, here, unless you were the neighbor in question.
