    I don’t know a single driver of a truck that doesn’t use it at least a few times a year. And everyone time I ask for the numbers, they cite a decade old 2013 survey or the more recent Axios survey which is about as scientific as a truth social post.

    https://www.thedrive.com/news/26907/you-dont-need-a-full-size-pickup-truck-you-need-a-cowboy-costume

    “According to Edwards’ data, 75 percent of truck owners use their truck for towing one time a year or less (meaning, never). Nearly 70 percent of truck owners go off-road one time a year or less. And a full 35 percent of truck owners use their truck for hauling—putting something in the bed, its ostensible raison d’être—once a year or less.”

    You mean this one? Why do you call everything that disproves your point “unscientific”? Do you just discard it if it says something you don’t like?

    Edit: Actually I recognized your username and looked at your recent comments and wow, you are clinically insane. Nobody can take you seriously, and I suddenly can’t either. Weirdo fakey-““libertarian””/discount conservative trolls have become all too common here recently

      Ahh another survey with no methodology or explanation. Classic.

        It literally states the methodology, but regardless, I don’t see you giving a source with “methodology or explanation”.

          < Methodology Our scales represent how people really think and make decisions. Our survey design allows for the most meaningful, actionable data available.

          How insightful. If only all our papers could have such rigor. Right up there when the JD power awards.

          You literally went to Google it whenever search you use and found the first result without looking at a damn thing just like everyone else parroting this shit.

          And I didn’t list a source because the data isn’t out there, but then again I’m not making up baseless accusations and trying to impose restrictions on people.
