It is a bit insulting but I suspect many people have enough experience with this that its a bit of a gut reaction. I know a lot of big ego people, they all drive trucks. I've been flipped off by drivers of all vehicles, but only run off the road by trucks, usually for very trivial things. because you know, getting into someone elses lane is effectively a challenge to their manhood, and they better make a point about it less they lose their social standing. That's not the actual thoughts in their heads, but it is their reaction. Trucks are _also_ comfortable, convenient, and all those other things, which is _also_ crucial. But I just can't imagine any of these big ego people driving a small car (and yes, more than a few have explicitly said as much). At any rate, what exactly would objective supporting data look like here?

> At any rate, what exactly would objective supporting data look like here? I don't know, which is why I wouldn't stereotype such a large group of the population. To a reasonable approximation, everyone in America is a truck customer. It's way too broad to have a common defining characteristic. I agree that there is a subgroup (think of them perhaps as the 'brodozer' crowd, I guess) that seem to be who you're thinking of. They mostly don't drive F150s, they're more likely to go for a diesel HD pickup. And even then they are just a niche of that market. I know lots of superduty owners that want nothing to do with those folks.
