You don't fall into the category of truck owners I'm referring to. Here in socal we have a special type of truck owner commonly known as the "Bro." Easily the most egotistical and unintelligent subculture around here.
I have a F350 diesel with 38's blah blah blah but It gets better mileage (25MPG) than most cars!!! Certainly better than my Lincoln and almost as much as wife Ford 500 (which is basically a new Taurus). Has nothing to do w/ da penis it's about hauling shit, towing shit etc. Normally like 80% of the time I drive a car though because you can't park anywhere.
In the last six months, although I know I'm forgetting something:Yeah, I tend to knock out a wall and drywall it once a month just for kicks.
Unless you need it for work and carry lumber around or something, I see no purpose to pickup trucks. They are stupid, ugly and usually the drivers are of a certain "persuasion". I see these a lot in downtown metro areas, and just am annoyed at them.
I can understand why one would want a large luxurious SUV (like an Escalade or decked out Sequoia, etc), and I fall into this camp myself. But why would you want to essentially chop the back half off and leave it open to the cold weather and snow outside? How are you going to transport people around? Doesn't make sense to me.
5% use them.
15% might use them once a year, maybe.
80% are compensating for something.
At least that's how it is here, where ca. 50% of the vehicles are halftons.

I use the bed of my truck constantly including 30 sheets of drywall in the last month.
If you ever got a quote for drywalling a room you'd know why you do it yourself.
Odds are 100% that you pulled those stats straight out of your ass and don't have a clue how P/U drivers in your area use their trucks. And certainly 80% don't share your need to compensate for a small johnson maybe you should change your screenname to 22short
Why don't you just hire someone to do it for you? After all, ATOT is full of wealthy people who own their own businesses and thus have no time for such trivial things as Do-It-Yourself.
Seriously, how often are you buying stainless steel appliances? How often are you installing hardwood floors? Everyone I know has done it once per home they owned, and they own that home for several years. Much better to just rent a truck when you need it.
In the last six months, although I know I'm forgetting something:
30 sheets of drywall
drywall lift
cement planer
cement grinder
couch
fridge
power washer
3 trips to the dump with construction debris
1 trip to the metal salvage yard
yard of topsoil
snowblower
assorted furniture
100 10 ft. 2X4's
1 pro pack of door trim 15 ft. long
kitchen table and chairs
And my son borrowed the truck to move somebody.
Some of us like to pretend we know how to swing a hammer and throw some drywall mud. I'm retired, so the truck isn't driven to work everyday.
Some people actually use trucks for work but I'd say it is less than 50% of truck owners...at least it is here in SoCal.
And one of these days you'll figure out SoCal is a land of altered reality, inhabited mostly by idiots, so whatever you've observed there probably doesn't apply to the rest of the country. In our family, we have a minivan for hauling people and a pick-up for hauling things, and both get used extensively for their respective purposes. And no, the truck isn't jacked-up or anything - that's just silly, and only makes it that much harder to load.

Not true at all. There are many good people here and I'd still rather live here than any of the flyover states in this country.
I don't care if you have a pickup truck. I'm just saying that for me, it is something I have little to no use for. I don't agree with those who say things like, "I'm a homeowner and a homeowner needs a pickup truck" because it is complete bullshit.
I don't really disagree, because they think they need a pickup truck as home owner. I mean, they really don't "need" one, but they probably just want one.
Who cares? Don't want one? Don't buy one. People own trucks because they need one, want one, or both.
GFY if you don't like it. It's their goddamn money.

I don't like it when they put these giant lifts on them. Cops should pull people over for that shit and write them up. It isn't legal.
Stupidity is to be critically blasted, whether or not its your money or not.
There ARE some people who own trucks because they think they need one, but they don't. They really don't want one either, because they'd rather a nice Bimmer. But they still have one. That's stupid.
