They're a red flag of gullibility and insecurity.

Exactly. My actual "work" trucks are well maintained '90s GM products. I had to rent a new truck on an out-of-state project, and the ridiculous bed height and beyond-stupid power tailgate were a total PITA.

I've lived in New York most of my life and have seen them only once. It's less of a U S. thing, more of a southern thing. I think a lot of Europeans paint all Americans with a broad brush, not realizing how diverse the regions are. People in the south/southwest are mostly the ones who fit the stereotypes.

I'm not making a joke, I genuinely felt like they do. Especially coz I'm in the middle of car shopping now, so I can totally relate.

[@Anamnesis]

Not even a parody. I'm a guy and have had this exact conversation with truck bros, asking them about where they've been off road, how often they go camping, what they tow or haul with their big truck. And there's mostly no answer or real world use case. It usually just boils down to "I gotta have muh truck because big" and that's it. It's like walking around wearing a stetson and spurs without ever being anywhere near a horse. The only tool bag these trucks are usually transporting is the one in the driver's seat.

I wouldn't spend that much on a car unless I could literally throw away the money and not care, but a small sports car is at least fun to drive. Even a luxury sedan, could be making the driving you do anyway more comfortable. An oversized truck that you only drive in the city is such a waste.

If you got blinded all the time with them when driving at night, at some point you gonna buy a lifed truck or big SUV unless the government step in and put a stop to it. It also doesnt help that those LED headlights in new cars are 1000x brighter than the streetlight. Whenever I drive at night, those streetlights are nothing more than some small candles.

In a strange twist of government, the main reason you can't buy a small truck (seriously, they don't exist in the USA) is environmental regulations. They have to make them big so they pass emission requirements. I know it makes no sense, but it is true.
