    There are way too many pavement princesses where I live.

    Big ass truck

    Used for one person to go to their office job and back home.

    Maybe 1/100 of them actually are used for actual truck tasks and they’re not the massive ones

    My sedan has seen more dirt roads than most of these trucks combined

      Same here. People erroneously associate these climate changing monstrosities with Republican-voting, rural America but I’ve seen these in my supposedly liberal city way too many times. The worse offenders are college frat boys with inflated egos wasting their tuition on lift kits and oversized chrome wheels. And you’re right about their usage. My dad once had two pickups: an F-150 King Ranch and a Nissan Frontier basic trim. You would think that, even with the luxury features, the F-150 would do the heavy work, right? Nope. The Frontier was always doing the dirty work while the King Ranch was my dad’s crown jewel (before he sold it).

      Here it is giant trucks or mustangs/challengers with the occasional douchebag with a “pffffttttt” exhaust tossed in. Like you said, 99% of the time they are only being used for groceries or driving the kids around. The people who actually use them for work their trucks look beaten up and are rarely this big.

      At least my state finally wised up and banned front lifted trucks.
