Yeah, I haven't spent a ton of time in the deep South, so maybe you are right that the situation is worse than I realize. The local culture in Northern Michigan has some significant differences from other parts of America and it's possible I've forgotten some of the odd quirks of broader American culture since leaving Denver and Detroit. Good luck out there man.

I definitely agree there's lots of people out there that do use their trucks as trucks, even if not all the time. I bet it does make sense to have a truck or at least a competent crossover in rural Michigan. Lots of people I know who live up there do need some clearance and get a lot of value out of all wheel drive. But there are tons of people out there who are entirely office workers living in a suburban home or apartment who don't have boats or campers or whatever and own one or more trucks. Tons of them. You really notice the difference driving around in NY or Michigan or Illinois or whatever and then go to Texas or New Mexico or Georgia or similar. I just did a road trip from Texas to Montreal, so I got a decent snapshot of what highway populations look like across a lot of North America.
