The pickup truck isn't a work vehicle? Wow do we live in different worlds.

  He's exaggerating, but there are countless pickups on the road that have never towed a trailer, driven off pavement, or hauled a load of dirt.

    And there are countless pickups that have. Broad generalizations like that are just silly. You don’t even have to prove them wrong, they’re just a flawed premise.

    Is that really as common as people make it out to be? It's rare I see a pick-up with a pristine receiver or bed where I am. sure there's the occasional "show truck" with 6" lift and 40" tires, but those aren't common.

      It's probably really regional. Totally anecdotal but for example most shiny "show trucks" I see running around seem to sport TX plates, while WY plates seem to adorn late model trucks that have been used hard. It seems like the prime habitat for "status" trucks would be areas with strong rural blue collar background, but plenty of wealth flowing today. Cultural significance combined with the wealth to afford $70k trucks.
