Dangerous rise of supersize pickup trucks

[Hedgelj]

I dunno if any of you caught this but it came across my social media stream this week.

What Happened to Pickup Trucks?

As U.S. drivers buy more full-size and heavy-duty pickups, these vehicles have transformed from no-frills workhorses into angry giants. And pedestrians are paying the price.

The language and wording chosen by the author is humorous at best and pathetic at worst. The author routinely chooses victim mentality language and wording and his bias is not even slightly hidden. Its also a very common logic seen nowadays "I don't like something so you shouldn't be able to have it either". Other social media posts included how Trumpism and masculinity makes anything toxic, that the "enlightened" urbanites don't drive them so they need to attack them as "others" who don't belong.

Goggle imaged this. Why doesn't Chevy and ford bring back the old square body styles like dodge did with their muscle cars? I am an anti loan guy but I might fold if a new 6liter 2023 looked this good. I didn't read the article. Your overview of it makes me think I wouldn't get along with the author.

Yep. I'm a cave man also...

That was amusing. I will not be shamed. My sense of self esteem as a man has not diminished after reading it. Seemed the entire article was sort of saying: we live in a world of insecurity and tiny penises. We emulate military vehicles as a badge of honor to piss on the Prius crowd.

Thought I was in the clear driving my little Tacoma until the author attacked bull bars and big lights. I added a bull bar simply to have a good place to mount my light bar. Lol

Oh well. My insecurities in my manhood have not been attacked by this author. Heck, I just bought a Subaru to replace a Honda Element. I don't need a big truck to know if I have a big or small pecker. It is the size it is. Big truck or small truck. Honda or Subaru. This author seems really insecure to attack truck owners.

Guess I don't need to put a fuck biden and fuck you for voting for him sticker on my truck, the 4 door long bed Denali is already pissing the weennie boy's off

drive a Prius, drive an F350. Who fuggin cares. We should probably outlaw freight trains and semis because of their blind spots, too. Just another “writer” trying to meet his contractual content obligation.

I saw these on a KTM group on FB. Guys are putting them on their silencers. Seemed perfect for our race trucks. I won't put one on my dually because it has company name on it. But I think the guys at the dirt track races will love these stickers. Not sure where I'll put it yet. Thinking it will go on top of the air cleaner.

Just another social justice warrior trying too get attention with asinine articles or opinion pieces...

Neither do a lot of other people. It's a darn shame her father made her face the face of climate change. I find it funny people are putting her sticker on their exhaust or on big diesel trucks and such. The irony is thick.
