I don't get why people shit on trucks like you're doing because they're not as bad as everyone thinks. Sure, those roll coal like fucking morons are an issue but they're not the majority of trucks. Most are like mine, stock and as fuel efficient as can be from the factory. Sportscars are far worse but no one and I mean no one bitches about them cause they're cool I guess.
My buddy got into a wreck with his F150 and got an Infinity G35 or something as replacement. Went from a large truck with a V8 to a smaller car with a V6 and the Ford 150 was better on fuel and didn't require premium so we were both shocked.
It's the combination of driving a lot plus having a less efficient vehicle that's the issue but we're only focusing on half the issue, the driving part.
It'd rather see people drive less and take public transit more than drive EV's.
One guy I talked to drives 3 hours a day and bitches at the government not doing anything.. meanwhile, what has HE done to improve anything? The answer was nothing.
What year F-150 was it?
The G37 debut 15 years ago, and if you really meant the G35, it's an even older engine design. The F-150 is also one of the best selling vehicles on the road and its design keeps up with modern standards much more than a sporty Nissan.
I don't know the years but this was ~10 years ago give or take.
