Has never seen anything but paved roads its entire life.
I’ve heard the phrase “pavement princess” used for such vehicles
I've been using "emotional support vehicle" lately.
My buddy uses "gender affirming vehicle" all the time. 😆
I've also heard "mall terrain vehicle"
If it's lifted on skinny tires it's a bro-dozer. The tires are always bald all-terrain tires.
I call folks who drive them “rural identifying persons”
can’t help but notice that most of those trunks are empty too
They're empty and almost every tow hitch is rusty. I think if they're used the rust would get knocked off and they'd be shiny, like the one back there. They literally just buy trucks to make themselves feel manly, I guess because they can't any other way. Then they never use it for any of the things they argue people need trucks for.
You’re backwards. The rusty ones are the ones getting used because the load and weight cause friction that takes the chrome coating off, exposing the underlying metal to the elements that cause rust.
Normally you grease the ball to keep it from getting bad, but a lot of people don’t keep up with that part.
Because I fucking hated getting grease all over my hands, pants from accidental brushing, and just everywhere else. The rusty ball still works for more than 20 years, so I took the tradeoff.
Yep.
I used to keep mine greased, got tired of getting dirty from it when it didn't really make any difference.
It's just marketing, anyway. Stock trucks are garbage offroad.
