      I’ll ask again, any data to actually support this. Been asking 6 years now and rarely get a response. And when I do it’s t9 secondary sources that all link back to a private industry report with no methodology or a MSNBC report with some of the shittiest questions for a poll I’ve seen

          So truthyness and your gut feeling.

          It’s insane, you’ve got people screeching nobody needs this because of biased perceptions.

          I’m my observation most truck users use then quite a bit. I’m on the light side and two 2k a year and maybe 10 home depot trips , and all my peers are using them even more 🤷‍♂️. Maybe not as scientific as a rough survey of a parking lot and making assumptions about clean vehicles not being used properly!

            So you don’t actually have anything that says otherwise. Im sorry; your entire argument is invalid and rules of the code d’ebatemebro say you get ten minutes in the shame corner or ritual suicide. The shame corner is live streamed.

        Do you think there is some dataset that says that people make poor choices due to emotional immaturity?

        Maybe there is a dataset that shows the rate of unladen trucks per mile?

        You won’t get it because it doesn’t exist, asking for it is an absurd notion because you know it cannot be produced.

        Not like the smol pp crew is busy logging miles to the grocery store and office.

          So you’re just making shit up and projecting. Well, at least your honest about what your doing. Makes me feel quite a bit less gaslit even I hear all these screeches about not using a truck properly. Makes total sense how is so out of line with reality.

            You can feel any way you like. That is your irrevocable right. I have neither the ability nor desire to deprive you or anyone else of it.

            However if you drive a big truck with a tiny bed, you are a silly little man!

      I may not haul things every day, but when I do need to haul things, it’s worth it despite people like you being condescending about it. 🤷‍♂️

        If only there was another way to acquire a vehicle created with the intention of moving large items. That way You-haul it for way less then owning maintaining and the price difference in gas. They should also make these available at every big box home improvement store. The cyber truck was created for you have a nice day.

          It’ll never be cheaper for me to own a car and rent a truck every other weekend and two 10 day weeks a year for my vacations than owning my truck. I’m not hauling kayaks and bikes and stuff in a car. I’ve done it, no. Go drive to the UP in a Home Depot rental truck. Yah ok boss.

            Hey dumb dumb you ain’t the guy we are talking about sounds like you would use the truck. But I’m sure you are going up north to secluded location where there isn’t any pavement or launches definitely no way you could just rent a kayak/canoe, ain’t no business like that you could probably make a fortune. If only there was some contraption to attach your bike to say a roof or a trunk another million dollar idea. Good luck with your denial.

              Rolling up north with a sedan that has kayaks on top and two bikes on the back and filled with camping gear sucks.

              And no, where I go you can’t rent and the places you can rent are expensive and not set up for fishing. You keep pretending renting this stuff is cheap and convenient. It is not.

              “Ope want to go scumbag launch my small boat off the riverbank better spend an hour securing a truck at Home Depot.” Yeah no

                  Yeah no shit. Everything but subsistence farming and eating gruel is a convenience. You’re not making a good case for your argument if you’re listing convenience as a con. Try again.

                    Mmm gruel. Come on bro your telling me it’s necessary for you to live kayaking in upper Michigan? Some people want to haul kids to soccer in a truck some people haul their cute plastic kayaks and overpriced carbon fiber bicycles I’m not here to judge. You probably bring fudge home don’t you?

              OK you’re an objectively bad driver if you would prefer people with normal licenses driving box trucks. You have made the classic mistake of solving a problem by creating a new one.
