      Every trip in a truck with an empty bed is a waste. Tooling around with stuff in the bed without the intent to deliver/use it at your destination is even worse.

      Yet that describes 99.99999% of all pickup truck use in America. Just a huge ass waste of gas and space in parking lots.

      Trucks are expensive too! If I were a scam artist I would definitely be targeting people driving shiny pickup trucks with empty beds. Because they definitely aren’t practical or realistic people.

      Wait: Maybe that’s how MAGA started? 🤔

        That’s how you know it’s all for show. People casually forget you can rent trucks for 20 dollars a day too. “Oh well I’m glad I have it for towing and moving”. Bull. How often do you tow really? And even then I’d expect it to sit at home most of the time. Moving? Once a year. Rent a truck. I go to home Depot and rent theirs when I need it.

        Buying a truck like that shows you are way too worried about what people think of you, you have to feel “big”, which usually means you’re a small man, and probably bad with money.

        I just looked up the dimensions of that thing and it has 10cm (3inch) shorter bed than mine. How you even manage to pull that off with a truck that big is beyond me.
