There are absolutely a lot of good reasons for people working in rural areas to want a pickup. These people who need these are also probably not the people driving brand new F250s, and are either using smaller, cheaper vehicles like the hilux or the ranger or substantially depreciated used models.
Yes, there are people driving huge luxury vehicles disguised as manly tools to their office job even in the rural areas, but being that you've obviously never been to these areas, how exactly are you in a position to know that, ackshwally, they're all posers and don't need it?
Where did I say that they're all posers? Like I said elsewhere, 4/5 vehicles sold in this Canada are SUV or pickups. The vast majority of those aren't cheaper, practical models, they're lifestyle trucks. I'm not saying nobody actually needs a pickup, I'm saying most people don't - or at the least don't need a gigantic vehicle with weapons-grade emissions when 95% of their driving is spent on the highway.
Actually just baffled at the leap from "Some people need pickups" to "All trucks are good, actually, you out of touch lib"
You've jumped into a thread in which someone was advocating a total ban, that's the source of confusion. I don't think anyone here disagrees that a great many truck owners could suffice with a smaller, lighter vehicle.
And to add on to this, there ARE in fact people who need large trucks to, for example, transport large agricultural equipment. F-250s and shit have a purpose. Just because YOU (generally; not you, Vostok) haven't seen one used correctly doesn't prove otherwise.
