As someone who lives in the countryside, and drives a small old truck for necessity, these people are a pain in the ass, and make everything worse for people like me. The trend for making trucks bigger, less easily repairable, with fancier interiors and plastic everywhere is driven by this idiotic posturing, not by the average person who actually uses them as the tool they’re supposed to be
