with the trucks on the market at this point, the actual "use case" functionality comprises maybe 10% of the reason people buy them. the rest is peacock feathers sticking out your ass
and the "you can't fathom having fun" bit LOL -- classic "you just don't get it" defense of anything dumb. and the fact that there's always always someone who has to chime in and come to the defense of stupidly large obnoxious emotional support trucks just proves the point: "y'all" can't handle anyone not thinking you're cool because your goofy ass truck
Oh we're just inventing numbers now? I'd say 98.72 % of raptor owners use them as intended 62% of the time!
Now go hit up Google and link me a secondary source leading back to a 2018 study done by a trade group (axios) that you didn't have access too.
LOLOLOLOL

dude, the trucks are just stupid security blankets. which would be fine if they weren't such a nuisance, a danger to others on the road, and didn't take up 4 parking spots. congrats, you are doing the exact opposite of making a case for buying one of these ridiculous bullshits
Where is the data and methodology? Oh right it's not there.
LOL you're literally demonstrating my point with every comment you make. it would be adorable if it weren't so sad. best advice i can give you is stop being SOOOOO concerned about what the entire world thinks about your own perceived lack of manliness
It's amazing how folks get off topic and start personal attacks when you point out they are making things up.
Been a year and not a single one of you have been able to actually pull the data on trucks y'all love to bitch about.
It's cult/GOP like.
"giant land-blimp trucks are cool because you can't find a quantitative study that says they aren't !!!!"
good job champ. keep up the good work standing up for those poor sensitive unmanly truck drivers
i'm honestly glad you're here. thanks for the entertainment
Amazing, you just continue to create lies and distortion to further OC's original imaginative comment.
lol you mean MY comment? again--you are doing nothing but demonstrating how sensitive and butthurt all dudebro giant stupid truck drivers are when someone calls the whole existence of these things dumb
Amazing.
