I couldn't get any location information from the page, but I wonder if these are mostly rural? I live in New Zealand and while the vehicles are not seen here the makeup would seem to align with my experience - trucks (Utes as we call them), cheap old cars, or flashy cars. The problem with living rurally is that there may be no options to socialise without your car.
- kube-system 5y agoPickups do skew rural and to blue collar trades in the US too.
- lokar 5y agoPickup trucks are very popular in the US, even for people with no special need for one (vs a car). It's a cultural thing.
- deltarholamda 5y ago>It's a cultural thing While true, based on extensive data analysis, 100% of all conversations that start with "hey, hold my beer," ends with somebody getting into a truck and doing something ill-advised.
- spoils19 5y agoI'm curious about this - do you have any sort of source for that data?
- crooked-v 5y agoTo expand on this, there are a huge number of huge trucks in the US that get used as either single-person cars (often with the bed almost entirely unused) or as awkward replacements for family SUVs or minivans, and a huge number of family SUVs that get used as oversized, fuel-inefficient minivans. Fortunately, we've at least seen the latter reverse itself somewhat with the rise of "crossovers", which are basically just a popularization of the Subaru Outback-style slightly-lifted wagon/hatchback with AWD.
