I believe what is happening in reality. But every accusation is a confession I guess. https://www.axios.com/ford-pickup-trucks-history
That source provides evidence against. It says that around 70 percent of F-150 owners use their car for “personal hauling” on at least an occasional basis, and around 40 percent use their car for towing under the same criteria.
You specifically said “no one” uses ICE pickup trucks for their intended purpose.
Did you not read that article or did you just think that I wouldn’t actually click on the link?
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.
- Your comment was extremely hyperbolic, relied more on emotion, and made some claims that sounded completely unbelievable
- You posted an article claiming it to “prove” your claim. It didn’t prove anything, but provided decent evidence in direct contradiction to what you claimed
- You then tried to argue in a way that defies any sort of common sense. Of course people with pickup trucks also use them to get groceries. Do you expect them to have an entirely different car that they’ll be using unless they specifically need pickup truck specific features? That’s insane
- You also moved the goal posts of what defined needing a pickup truck. Your definition is extremely restrictive, and isn’t referenced in the article. Again this is the article you yourself chose.
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.
