I didn't realize it was a generational thing. Just a small dick thing.
In our very suburban neighborhood there are a few. They are always black and somehow louder and bigger than they should be. Always shiny and never hauling or towing. I feel bad for these sad owners with something to prove. And pretty hefty fill prices even with cheap gas.

I will say my MIL gave hers up after her horse died (old age) and she no longer needed one. She said she hated driving it because it was a boat.

I’m an old millennial whose first vehicle was an F250. My teen daughter is saving for a truck, though she wants a Toyota.

Yep, the popularity of trucks is nothing new. But anyway, I hate small cars. I dislike being cramped up and feeling every bump on the road. I've never owned a truck but my next vehicle will be a choice of an SUV or a truck.

That’s because older Boomers were approaching 30s when idiotic government CAFE standards began to backfire with their inevitable loopholes and unintended consequences. So once gasoline started getting cheap again, it was off to the races. The slow death of sedans began with CAFE 1.

DH needs one to tow our boat and to drive up the gravel road to our mountain cabin in the winter.

The shock me less than the huge suburbans. I don't even know how people park those. They are the size of a small RV!

The millennial women like trucks too.

So much small dick energy

The city centers aren’t without blame either. They all have SUVs. SUVs and trucks (not for work) are both glorified minivans anyway.

Our entire country and every age range is like this. once you get out of the liberal city centers it’s trucks, trucks, trucks.

What’s with these guys living in the suburbs and having the need for huge four door pick up trucks? These aren’t trades guys who need trucks but white collar drives who might only ever haul soccer or hockey gear. When they park next to you, you can barely open your car door. Are these old ex frat boys trying to relive their youth.
