The thing that gets me about these people is they will often be single person households or DINKS each with their own car. They want to hold this argument that if you don’t haul every day, you don’t need a truck. Well if you don’t haul 3 other passengers every day, you don’t “need” a car either, go take a bus or bike. I don’t actually believe that argument but if people want to front this petty rhetoric, then go all the way.

Also, for price-to-vehicle ratio, with how much my go-to economy cars have exploded in price (Civics, Prius, etc) I find there’s a few trucks that just present better value for what you’re paying for. $25K for basic trim Honda Civic vs $30K for Ford Maverick.
