I think the point still stands: people who buy trucks want to believe they can do real work, kind of like the fantasy of an SUV as a rugged vehicle even though their buyers typically treat them like street cars.

Or people who buy "sports" cars and then end up sitting in traffic 90% of the time. I've never understood most car buyers.
