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.
Everyone I know uses them pretty consistently to tow. I know of one or two people who don’t use it well. I think a portion of them probably could get away with a ranger.
In the absence of any real data, trying to roughly include my small suburban town just outside of rural (more used and working class users) anecdotally it wouldn’t surprise me to see anywhere between 20-35% of owners not having any sort of real use for their truck. I’d wager that most of those owners are new owners as well.
That’s not to say there aren’t dumb idiots living in downtown NYC being morons. I just don’t think it’s remotely as crazy as the fuck cars community would have you believe.

Is even softer data than what I posted, and softer than the old survey you were complaining about.
Yep. But I’m not out hating people over it. I’d actually like to know.
Yeah, because you’re in a big truck, and not a sensibly sized car getting pinched between a brodozer and a concrete barrier everyday.
No I’m mostly in my Miata or my bike. Again, y’all just invent things.
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?
I have a 4 car garage, money to buy multiple used vehicles, and fix them up myself. Not many are so privileged.
