The one in ten that actually uses a truck for truck stuff and not a mallcruiser.

The nearest mall is a mere 50 miles away and I never go there. And yet I get painted with the same "fuck pickup trucks" brush right along with those that buy them as a mall cruiser.

Quick stats check and less than 30% of truck owners use their truck for truck things, more than 30% don’t at all, and the rest might once in a while. So 60%-ish plus basically use a truck as a daily driver and not for hauling, work, or towing.

You are in the minority.

If I am in that minority, 1/3 is a pretty large minority. That's a pretty wide brush to paint with don't you think?

Not my stats. I didn’t paint anything.
