      What’s pointless about a truck? They’re insanely useful and valuable!

        Pointless trucks, like in 90% of the cases. We are not talking about the people who actually use it for taking stuff with it on the field. We are talking about the assholes who drive it in cities “because it looks cool” or some shit. In case you were just kidding, consider my comment null.

        Most trucks are for looks, and don’t actually get used for anything heavy-duty, and RAMs in particular are garbage

            The conclusion that most trucks are pointless, or the conclusion that RAMs are garbage?

            The former by living in a place where pretty trucks are everywhere, and there isn’t a single scratch or dent on most of them (and they’re usually lifted crew cab short box). The latter, personal experience. If you want a truck, get a Toyota or a Chevy

              What I’ve gathered here is that you come from someplace weird with truck nuts who have definitely rubbed off on you enough that you make sweeping generalizations.

              That said, I’m pretty sure Chevy is the only manufacturer I didn’t see on the list of auto makers lobbying against right to repair.

                True, Alberta

                who have definitely rubbed off on you enough that you make sweeping generalizations

                Probably also true

                I’m pretty sure Chevy is the only manufacturer I didn’t see on the list of auto makers lobbying against right to repair

                Huh. Interesting.

                  Yeah, I’ve been wanting a Subaru or Mazda, but it’s looking like Chevy might be the way. I try really hard to stand on principles that matter.

        Almost no one actually needs a full-size pickup. The only real exception is if you regularly haul heavy loads on trailers, but that doesn’t apply to most full-size pickup owners. Most people buy them because it’s part of an image they’ve been sold through the advertising industry.

        I drive a 20-year-old mid-sized pickup with an extended bed and there has never been a single time when it hasn’t been perfectly adequate for all my needs. It’s also a 4-wheel-drive, but since I only ever use that feature on snow and ice and rough unpaved roads and am not an off-road enthusiast, it’s not lifted and doesn’t tower over other vehicles in traffic.
