A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

    That sounds dumb. Lets instead expend $60k+maintenance and insurance in order to not have to pay $100 once every othe year or so.

      I think there’s a significant part of American culture and mythology constructed around self-reliance. It is at the heart of the rage over socialism (that and anti-communist sentiment left-over from the Cold War), the hardcore prepper mindset, and pickup trucks.

      When that is your identity logic doesn’t play into it, unfortunately.

      Also, the prevalence of $100k+ vehicles is getting goddamn ridiculous.

      the math makes more sense when the truck costs <$20,000 and only has colision insurance.
