I live in the country and my next door neighbor has two trucks that he alternates commuting 40 minutes into the city for a job that doesn't require a truck. Never see them used for anything else. That just oozes smart to me.

Where I live on Vancouver Island you need a 4x4 and a truck makes the most sense because 4runners are too expensive

Also because it literally never stops raining it's useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

because 4runners are too expensive

Because those are the literal only two types of 4x4 in existence, right? Smaller cars don't ever have 4x4 capability

Also because it literally never stops raining it's useful to have a place to put wet things outside of the cab

Plastic liner or bin in the trunk. Bonus that it won't keep getting more wet

I love seeing people insecure as fuck because hey actually know deep down they don't need the truck, so they come up with "reasons" they need it

Uh oh, found the terminally online guy.

Nobody is "insecure" about owning a truck, because normal people just use their vehicle as they see fit. They aren't worried about what some basement dweller thinks of their vehicle use lol

Peak brain dead take of the whole thread ⭐

Homie I can see you and at least one other person whining in every thread possible about how your use case is valid

They aren't worried about what some basement dweller thinks

Nice ad hominem, bud, really shows you're not defensive. How about the opinion of someone on land with livestock, yet doesn't feel the need to own a truck? Isn't that, like, the exact person you guys claim needs one so desperately after all?

I'm really confused as to why you think people need to justify owning a truck. Do I, or anyone, owe you or anyone else an explanation on why we have a certain type of vehicle?

My use case is valid, simply because I deem it so.

Others use cases are valid, simply because they deem it so.

It's really that simple.
