Do you even realise that you're defending owning an F150? That's not a normal car to own, not even close. F150 is closer to F650 than it is to Fiat 500.
It's a very reasonably normal vehicle to own if you do a lot of towing, construction, etc. Heavy vehicles exist for a reason. No it's not for commuting or shopping trips, but there are many other reasons to own a vehicle.
People outside of US do that all without F150 and other American cancer. You don't need a truck for anything.
Do you not realize a truck is a van without a top? No difference. Trucks are extremely useful in the US. Yes you can do those things without a truck, but it's easier with a truck. Honestly with your "American Cancer" statement, you're sounding pretty xenophobic and I don't appreciate it.
