    Y’all can’t fathom using the vehicle or having fun.

    with the trucks on the market at this point, the actual “use case” functionality comprises maybe 10% of the reason people buy them. the rest is peacock feathers sticking out your ass

    and the “you can’t fathom having fun” bit LOL – classic “you just don’t get it” defense of anything dumb. and the fact that there’s always always someone who has to chime in and come to the defense of stupidly large obnoxious emotional support trucks just proves the point: “y’all” can’t handle anyone not thinking you’re cool because your goofy ass truck

      Oh we’re just inventing numbers now? I’d say 98.72 % of raptor owners use them as intended 62% of the time!

      Now go hit up Google and link me a secondary source leading back to a 2018 study done by a trade group (axios) that you didn’t have access too.

        LOLOLOLOL

        https://www.axios.com/2023/01/23/pickup-trucks-f150-size-weight-safety

        Instead, experts say, much of the big pickup mania is being driven by consumers’ self-image. “Today, personality and imagery are playing an even more important role in how consumers choose which truck is right for them,” Strategic Vision researcher Alexander Edwards told Axios.
        The firm surveys owners each year about the character traits they associate with their vehicle. Two words set F-150 owners apart: “powerful” and “rugged.”

        dude, the trucks are just stupid security blankets. which would be fine if they weren’t such a nuisance, a danger to others on the road, and didn’t take up 4 parking spots. congrats, you are doing the exact opposite of making a case for buying one of these ridiculous bullshits

            LOL you’re literally demonstrating my point with every comment you make. it would be adorable if it weren’t so sad. best advice i can give you is stop being SOOOOO concerned about what the entire world thinks about your own perceived lack of manliness

              It’s amazing how folks get off topic and start personal attacks when you point out they are making things up.

              Been a year and not a single one of you have been able to actually pull the data on trucks y’all love to bitch about.

              It’s cult/GOP like.

                  Amazing, you just continue to create lies and distortion to further OC’s original imaginative comment.
