The funny part is you can punch these truck owners right in the daddy issues just by pulling up next to them in a base model truck with actual dirt in the wheel wells and a ladder rack on. Using a truck to do actual work > aftermarket pageantry and they damn well know it.



Meh. I know blue collar mexicans who save up and get trucks like that because they like it. Some people just like it.


Forgetfreeman isn’t talking about the blue collar Mexicans…

I will say tho, the base model trucks and just about any trucks aren’t made for work anymore. The boxes are like 6ft long as opposed to 10. The tow power on base models isn’t great. Work vehicles today are becoming more and more those vans. Not saying work trucks are obsolete, just they aren’t what they used to be.


You aren't wrong. Those of us with work to do will be significantly better off when fashion moves on to some other type of vehicle.
