    Ya I hate that I have a truck because it makes me guilty by association but I like to go camping most weekends and it’s just the best tool for the job in my opinion

    It’s black and there are scratches down both sides of the truck from foliage and shit which I intentionally don’t buff out because I think it actually looks cooler being obviously “used” lol

    Fun fact but on Vancouver Island these scratches are known as “BC pinstripes”

      I’m just south of the BC border, and I saw the absolute coolest truck a few years back. It’s a vibe out here.

      Pavement princesses annoy me. When I see a huge truck sparkling like it just pulled out of a showroom, I figure they don’t really need a truck, they just bought it to show off.

      The scratches mean you actually use your truck as a truck.

        My mom drives a full size pickup and all she does is get groceries with it, drives me mad

        She says “it’s safer” and “i don’t like sitting on the ground” lol

        This woman is 5ft tall

      No hate, I had a Nissan Frontier, I loved that damn truck. I really only used it like a truck a handful of times tho. I had to sell her when I moved overseas.

        Good truck. I have a 2007 gmc sierra with the 6.5ft box with one of those grandpa style tall canopies and i have a bed and stove built in the back for adventuring

        Drove from victoria bc to fairbanks alaska and it has 330,000km and it gives me zero issues (except the stupid fucking window switches, I’ve replaced the four of them like 3 times now)
