Between fuel costs being ludicrously hig here, and the government taxing your car based off weight, power and fuel type I could not afford a big pick up truck if I wanted to.

They're cool though.

 

[Jinxed]

Only reason I dont own one or a minivan anymore is because of gas prices. Loved the cabin space and being able to just haul absolutely everything I needed.

I actually like the smaller kei trucks they have in japan. I could see myself using it around the yard

Heck yeah! I'd even make it a sauna truck and travel around my country.

Every car in Florida is fucking huge. Giant pick-ups and SUVs abound, driven by a weird mixture of high school kids and rich old people.
I don’t really care, other than two things.

It makes backing out of parking spaces a guessing game. I can’t see shit with two monoliths on either side of me.

If I get in an accident with one in my lil Toyota I’m probably dead instantly while they get a scratch on their bumper.

You ever look around the internet and see people lose their mind over the existence of pick up trucks. Like they are so insecure with their own lives and immediately think

“Oh they are trying to be tough “
“Role playing the tough guy “
“Status symbol thing “
“It’s the new small penis vehicle”

And these individuals will repeat this to one another until the point they actually believe what they are saying.

In reality though……you could not work construction and own a pick up truck.

Have you ever tried bringing home supplies from Lowe’s in a fucking sedan?

Yeah good luck with that shit.

You ever try picking up furniture in a fucking sedan? Or hell, helping out your neighbors that need something moved.

I got an idea, let’s go strap a dresser you want to refinish at your house to the top of a fucking Prius.

Rant over

“Oh they are trying to be tough “
“Role playing the tough guy “
“Status symbol thing “
“It’s the new small penis vehicle”

These are all true. Not for everyone but there's a reason the small penis truck thing has been around for 40 years.

Lots of men are fucking bitches. It goes into all of what you are saying. Insecure so they get a large truck to compensate.

You ever see anyone else drive around town with political flags fluttering on their vehicle? You don't cause those truck drivers have little balls.

Rolling coal? Real tough!

Lots of truck drivers don't use their trucks for hauling or construction. Plus you think construction workers need to drive trucks to work? They don't use their personal trucks at the job site.

Lots of truck drivers are little bitches who need an f350 to feel good about themselves.

Yeah! Minivans too! Guys who drive those are the coolest, right?!

 

[El Muerto]

Trucks are meant for work, not for grabbing groceries. I live in the south, and everybody feels the need to have a truck, especially a big 'ol compensator truck. Some of these guys treat their trucks better than their wife too. I seen dudes who dont want their dog in the backseat because they're afraid of getting the interior dirty. Also seen several trucks afraid to run over stuff in the road like a flattened cardboard box. Then you have dudes who put 22in rims on their trucks so they're unable to go offroad or haul anything. I have a pickup, i also have a couple cars. If i need to run errands i use a car. But if i'm doing handyman stuff or going fishing i use my truck. I dont make my truck my whole personality like some of these fragile dudes.

 

[Mihos]

Pick ups are great. The guy I pay to deliver my stuff has one

 

[Sakura]

I'm pretty sure I've seen studies showing that the vast majority of pick-up truck owners don't actually ever use it to haul anything. Not saying that's you OP, but probably where the stereotype comes from.

 

[Tams]

The American ones are too big for British infrastructure, so inconsiderate wankers are more likely to be the owners of them here.

Japanese kei trucks are pretty cool.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Yeah! Minivans too! Guys who drive those are the coolest, right?!

Unpopular opinion: I have never attached "cool" to what one drives after the age of 14.
