I live in the country and my next door neighbor has two trucks that he alternates commuting 40 minutes into the city for a job that doesn’t require a truck. Never see them used for anything else. That just oozes smart to me.
I live in the sticks too and most of my neighbours have trucks. Know why? Because they need them. I don’t look at a truck sitting in a driveway and sit in a bubble of self righteousness thinking how dumb they are for owning a truck. I let them own a truck, assume they need it, think nothing of it, and move on with my life, because it doesn’t affect me.
Prolly cuz I’m not stupid enough to drive my car off-road if it ain’t capable of handling the terrain.
I have taken appropriately lifted vehicles off-road many times, though, and many of them weren’t big ass lifted trucks because that’s rarely what’s actually needed. Oh, and even if you do need said lift, a truck ain’t even the best vehicle for that purpose.
But go on, keep pretending the .01% of truck owners actually travelling through 4ft of mud to get to and from their farm are the normal use case for trucks.
You’ll notice almost immediately that there are many 4x4 vehicles with ground clearance that aren’t also gigantic trucks that will go unused for their main intended purpose.
Nobody is “insecure” about owning a truck, because normal people just use their vehicle as they see fit. They aren’t worried about what some basement dweller thinks of their vehicle use lol
Homie I can see you and at least one other person whining in every thread possible about how your use case is valid
They aren’t worried about what some basement dweller thinks
Nice ad hominem, bud, really shows you’re not defensive. How about the opinion of someone on land with livestock, yet doesn’t feel the need to own a truck? Isn’t that, like, the exact person you guys claim needs one so desperately after all?
I’m really confused as to why you think people need to justify owning a truck. Do I, or anyone, owe you or anyone else an explanation on why we have a certain type of vehicle?
My use case is valid, simply because I deem it so.
Others use cases are valid, simply because they deem it so.
“Everyone’s use case is perfectly identical and can be addressed by high-density urban living and public transportation” seems to be a common one as well.

Same, I just assume they want it instead.

This is the kind of nuance Lemmy isn’t prepared for. You either hate trucks, or fuck you
Because those are the literal only two types of 4x4 in existence, right? Smaller cars don’t ever have 4x4 capability
Plastic liner or bin in the trunk. Bonus that it won’t keep getting more wet
I love seeing people insecure as fuck because hey actually know deep down they don’t need the truck, so they come up with “reasons” they need it
Spoken like someone who’s never had a car buried up to the rocker panels in mud or snow and needed extra ground clearance to get out.

Show me on the doll where the big truck touched you

And there are vehicles other than trucks or 4-runnerd that have that.
Never said AWD, I said 4x4
Never said put it in the cabin, I said put it in the trunk
I’d love to, but these oversized pavement princesses are forcing me to dodge around them because they can’t control a big, heavy vehicle.

Before you play the goalposts game: I said smaller, not small, though some listed would probably count as small:
New vehicles
And since price was the initial complaint: [used](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=used+small+4x4, though if that gives you too many trucks

It’s really that simple.

Lots of idealists, not many realists.
Fuck cars was the first thing I banned coming to this site. I swear that whole community is just brain dead people who are terminally online.
