lmao The vast majority of people literally confess to use their trucks for shit like leisure and grocery shopping. You don't need a heavy pickup truck to "occasionally" do "personal hauling". But thanks for proving my point, because what you're doing is mental gymnastics in an effort to make excuses. It's like Cybertruck owners arguing they are off-roading with it, while they just drive over some dirt roads with a few rocks and puddles - something virtually every car can do. Unless you have to haul actually heavy gear on a daily basis through some serious terrain on an open bed, you don't need a truck. And if you fit into those criteria, you wouldn't buy a fashion truck with their tiny bed and are part of the 7% of that statistic, which is likely still more bullshit than not and the true number is closer to less than 5%.
See this is why I said it was pointless to argue.
You've 100 percent what you're gonna believe. That belief is based off your own personal hatred of pickup trucks. I wouldn't be surprised if this didn't somehow tie into a larger aspect of your identity via some weird political connection. It's like talking to a 7th grader. Pointless.
Holy mother of projection... No thanks.
