A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:
In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

All while the US actively outlaws small cars.
I would say more like actively discourages small cars by encouraging large vehicles and allowing them lower standards (emissions etc)
I wonder how these terms were defined. Off road as in a dirt road or on a beach where any normal vehicle could go? Haul something in the truck bed as in something that an SUV could fit, too? ‘Bout the only thing unique would be towing, that’s usually a truck job. Boat, trailer, whatever.
I got a 2004 Silverado 1500 and I couldn't be happier with it. It's not a giant penile enhancement. Its just a normal sized truck. I use it as a daily driver and grocery getter. But when I need a truck to haul shit I got it.
Fantastic. I'm going to start using this term.
We can fix the truck problem by making health insurance cover penis enlargements. If they have more of a dick maybe they will be less of a dick.
