More than 1 in 4 car shoppers in Texas and Wyoming have committed to paying more than $1,000 a month, and experts say it is due to the high volume of large truck purchases in those states, according to a report by auto site Edmunds.
More than 1 in 5 shoppers in seven other states — Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and Utah — are also forking over more than $1,000 for their vehicles each month.
Fuck pickup trucks and the small men who need to buy them as their emotional support vehicles so they can move their toys around a few times a year.
If you’re not a business or using them for a commercial purpose you shouldn’t be allowed to own one. Period. I would support legislation that requires a CDL to operate one.
I guess I shouldn’t be allowed my hobbies because of my small pp 😭😭😭😭😭
No you shouldn’t be allowed to drive an over sized death machine just to move your “hobbies” around from time to time.
The small pp is your own issue.

The nanny state loves to exaggerate 🙄.
7% delta. The really aren’t that much more dangerous than cars.
This was published in 2005. Yet you accuse me of exaggerating? Grow the fuck up.
For everyone else, these statistics are at least from this decade: https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality-statistics/detail/large-trucks
Large trucks in this instance are things like 18-wheelers, not trucks like the Ford F-150 or Dodge Ram.
Fair but at least my data is relevant to this decade. I’ll try to look up the correct data in a bit so my point lines up accurately.
👌👍 let me know when you find that recent data. This is the often stated report for decades due to the lack of research. I’m quite confident you won’t find contradictory data in modern study, but if you do I’m 100% open to it.
What I find particularly funny is you just assume the slight increase in mass is going to make a larger impact than backup cameras front bumper cameras, and pedestrian avoidance systems (typically the most cited as dengerous due to blind spots) in addition to modern driving aids and a lower center of gravity from that generation…
It’s quite an assumption.
That sure was a lot of words for “I’m a giant asshole” 😂
This game is over. You can fuck off now.
