Emotional Support Vehicles

A guy at work has a massive truck, and once had a bunch of bags of wood pellets delivered to the office.

As he wrangled a bunch of low level employees to help him load it all up, he exclaimed "I can fit two tons in the back of this!"

"I can have things delivered to my house" I replied.

And it is because of these people that I have to custom order a poverty spec work truck, because manufacturers will only send dealers 100k "family trucks" with fancy nonsense

I once sat behind a dude in line filling four propane tanks that he put in the back seat of his pickup truck.

Meanwhile europe where you see people with renault twingos do more with their cars.

Yeah, your source is just a website and not the article/page related. Also, the website's search bar is broken. I couldn't find anything related, nor simple with it. Such as "car."

Taking your golf bag to the course counts as hauling now?

While this sounds very believable, an actual source would be nice. I can't find any such image on the website to view the sources they may or may not provide

Edit: the source doesn't appear to include all of the statistics in the image, but the article lists it's source is https://www.strategicvision.com/nves, which looks to be paywalled behind a subscription. It's possible the data is from the survey data linked, but I can't verify it

But you get to own the libs every day so it evens out.

I haul, tow, go off road more frequently in my Yaris.

Or if you’re like my neighbor you live in a town house and never tow anything and never use the bed for anything.

Getting this while I'm high off my ass felt like a ninja was jumping out at me. That is a beautiful alert.

Gender affirming truck. But seriously, I will never ask someone to haul stuff for me. It's like you didn't buy a truck to haul my shit around. There are also seasons of life where a truck would be super useful. What I'm saying is I need a fucking truck you bitches.

For when you are too fierce for the chaps there is the F-150.

I imagine it's pretty much the same in UK - a lot of the people using them for work might be better off with a small van.

But then, they don't look 'manly' do they?

Feeling good about my mid sized truck in the mountain west. Haul weekly, trailer monthly, off road monthly, at least (remote trailhead access)

I don't know what I couldn't do which would necessitate one of the huge new full sized trucks, aside from towing construction equipment or line a shit ton of welding gear or live stock. The number of people who do THAT must be microscopic

All while the US actively outlaws small cars.

I wonder how these terms were defined. Off road as in a dirt road or on a beach where any normal vehicle could go? Haul something in the truck bed as in something that an SUV could fit, too? ‘Bout the only thing unique would be towing, that’s usually a truck job. Boat, trailer, whatever.

I got a 2004 Silverado 1500 and I couldn't be happier with it. It's not a giant penile enhancement. Its just a normal sized truck. I use it as a daily driver and grocery getter. But when I need a truck to haul shit I got it.

Fantastic. I'm going to start using this term.

My bike haul the Weekly shopping

but people tell me that I just want to show off

We can fix the truck problem by making health insurance cover penis enlargements. If they have more of a dick maybe they will be less of a dick.

While I don't tow more than 2 or 3 times per year, I like to daydream about owning a boat. I need to be able to tow one to imagine I could own one some day.

It compensates for penis size 100% of the time though.

saw a rivian on my way home from work this morning. poor guy tried to keep up but my old 4banger was just too light on her feet

Don't blame emo for what can be explained by YAGNI.

I own a cast iron pan, but I only bake 15% of the meals I cook in said pan.

I am such a huge disgrace for not needing to utilize my tools every time I cook.

Gonna go microwave something in my cast iron so I can be cool like everyone here.

I'm glad to know you approve of my truck usage

Why do I keep getting recommended this sub. Wtf is this place even for?? Is it hating on cars or hating on car owners??

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS PLACE TO BEGIN WITH???

Yet that one time that you need it, it’s quite nice to have.

Why don't you post the original source for this data.

You won't because it's shitty data.

I'm going to get responses, if any, to a 2013 phone survey for 1000 people that splits users with shitty questions or a REFERENCE 2018 to a 2018 axios study but not the data because it's only sold and under copyright. Even looking at the questions I'm nearly certain OP is talking about the first.

I tow 12 times a year. But I don't go off road. Ohhhh and look now I'm contributing to your shitty mutually exclusive population splits.

You are parroting rage engagement bait and being manipulated.

Prove me wrong .
