It’s not like people with trucks haul anything nowadays. Just a status symbol.
I got an 87 F150 that hauls trash and kayaks... what's my status?
Someone who isn't trying to compensate for masculinity, or aerodynamics.
A perfect 5/7
My 08 hauls so many kayaks and has enabled so many cool adventures.
You’re cool. You pass.
Depends, 300 302 or 351?
300, it will probably outlive all of us
I may not haul things every day, but when I do need to haul things, it’s worth it despite people like you being condescending about it. 🤷♂️

Ever considered a trailer?
There's 2 F series trucks for every square mile of this country. Do you think they are all out there hauling loads and trailers, off roading and actualling being used for truck stuff, or do you think that the vast majority of them are single occupant highway battering rams built to make small men feel big and important?
Remember, 2 per square mile, and that just one series of trucks, from 1 manufacturer, going back just 10 years.
In the absence of hard statistics, I think a gut check on the sheer scale of trucks being sold in the US will suffice.
Is even softer data than what I posted, and softer than the old survey you were complaining about.
Yeah, because you're in a big truck, and not a sensibly sized car getting pinched between a brodozer and a concrete barrier everyday.
Ah, so you wouldn't recommend that someone buy one of these things as a daily driver? You only have the truck for doing truck stuff, right?
Do you think there is some dataset that says that people make poor choices due to emotional immaturity?
Maybe there is a dataset that shows the rate of unladen trucks per mile?
You won't get it because it doesn't exist, asking for it is an absurd notion because you know it cannot be produced.
Not like the smol pp crew is busy logging miles to the grocery store and office.
You can feel any way you like. That is your irrevocable right. I have neither the ability nor desire to deprive you or anyone else of it.
However if you drive a big truck with a tiny bed, you are a silly little man!
