Roughly 1 in 22 Ram 2500 drivers have been cited with a DUI before
I think there's a major ego and image thing at play here. Trucks can be useful. They can also be stupid symbols for whatever insecurity you have. A 2500 series does a little bit more than a 1500, costs way more, has a ton of extra shit that makes it look "tougher and more rugged", but avoids the serious "oh my god I'm actually driving something that would require a CDL in most countries" feel and vibes of 3500 and up. It's the perfect vehicle for someone who likes to drive drunk.
