Even out here in the rural areas people who have these ridiculous, oversized, luxery trucks aren't using them for actual work. I guess that was kinda my point. People who haul stuff want something affordable that can take a bit of a beating. Not some gas guzzling humongous thing that doesn't even offer more hauling space.
Those trucks are definitely not being built for work. I hate them because finding a decent work truck that won't bankrupt me is becoming a huge hassle.
