all i know is when i asked an in law to borrow their big ol truck to move some furniture they didn't want it scratched and refused. so you can sell it as freedom all you want, though that begs the question "why that choice," and my personal experience some of the folks with them only wear country gear, neatly pressed, unsweaty,, to go line dancing, and don't let you borrow the trucks to do manly things like move furniture because god forbid it might get scratched.
it's a little fragile of masculinity. i don't have to buy butched-up vehicles and crudely provoke libs to be very much a dude.
take the subtle hint, that was your in laws way of telling you he doesn't like you
In the South pickup trucks are a status symbol. Especially if you have a job that is at all related to blue collar work. Even if you don’t do any yourself. If you have money you drive a $70k pickup not a BMW or Mercedes.
It's such a cliche to say people buy trucks that they never use (just because they aren't carpenters or something), but everyone I know with a truck most definitely uses it for truck stuff. Americans like to haul boats, do outdoors stuff, home improvement projects, etc. Maybe only 1% of the time, but heck how often do you see a passenger car with even two people riding? Pretty rare for the most part. People buy vehicles that can do everything they might want to do, not vehicles that can meet only 90% of their needs.
We have some for our business, do we do outdoor work NO, hard labor not necessarily but these trucks fit 2 palletts in the bed and make moving products from one site to another much easier. That's why we have one our previous truck could fit 2 at one time.
Me thinks ye exaggerate. Ford sells 5x more F150s than F250s and F350s which are generally used for work. When you're on the dole you don't need a work truck. Please adjust your perspective.
"A stone or stone unit of weight, the stone symbol is st. It is an English and imperial unit of mass that is equal to 14 pounds or approximately 6.35 kg."
Obviously metric makes a whole lot more sense as Americans know
"The United States was one of the original countries to sign the Treaty of the Meter in 1875, which is now celebrated annually on May 20, World Metrology Day. It’s been legal to use the metric system since 1866, and metric became the preferred system of weights and measures for U.S. trade and commerce in 1988."
I'm a US citizen & also don't get it. I'm just trying to figure out how they all got so fat. Can you even get one of these trucks through a fast food drive through? In any case, I do a lot of active things like trail running and mountain biking and I mostly see cars and smaller trucks at the trailhead.
The most common reason to own a truck where I live is to haul a boat - but I live in an area with two large lakes. I don't know anyone who owns one just to feel cool, though I'm sure in a different age group / demographic, people do.
The most popular vehicles where I live are Subaru Outbacks and Teslas, though I'm sure many Tesla-buyers regret their purchase. Rivians are becoming more popular.
In the United States, we have a tribe of what we call "wannabes." They feel left out of the doing, the being, so rather than working at something to be a genuine part of the being or doing; they revel in buying an appearance of assuming the identity of the genuine. In essence, they are what we refer to as "a sorry lot."

How do brits get their boats to the lake? How do they move stuff, how do u pick up a flat of sod for your lawn or a load of manure for your flower beds? How do you get all your stuff from Costco or Sam's home? What abt fencing or flats of flowers or that stuff u buy at garage sales like weight bench or exercise bike or oversized barbie playhouse? I use my truck all the time
