He took a functional truck and made it almost impossible to actually use it for anything.

Just out of curiosity, did women his age find his truck interesting/attractive?

Yeah, but hes also had a legit mullet his whole life and that doesnt do too badly either...

He didn't get it for that tho. But yeah, in general country girls do legitimately like guys in ridiculously huge trucks.

It's a real thing.

The confusing part is people thinking it works in a city.

Most rural areas don't have much of an economy, so big, expensive, lifted trucks show that the guy has a job that can at least pay for those things. It's not unlike men in urban areas wearing expensive clothes and accessories like watches. It shows they have money, and to a certain segment of the population that's enough to get them interested.

It's been my observation that the people most interested in talking about or staring at large trucks, is prepubescent boys. Ergo, as far as I'm concerned, the only reason to have a huge unusable pavement princess is to because you want to show kids your "monster truck".
