This still doesn't matter make sense. Lots of people have multiple kids and/or a spouse. Manufacturing more vehicles just to please your ego is not the economical or environmentally friendly thing to do.
This doesn't make any sense. You live out in the country, you're probably going to need a truck. You aren't going to haul horse shit, lime, a crap ton of chicken feed, or water for your cistern in a car or even a SUV. But you should be buying a vehicle that actually fits the work being done and if it's a small truck then buy a small truck and not giant penis extender with no ability to haul a damn thing.
Ok, so is this whole discussion a misunderstanding?
I'm saying "there are valid uses for a truck" and (from what I thought) everyone else is saying "all trucks are bad, you don't need a truck".
But now you're saying that the discussion is explicitly the exact truck that's in the photo and small trucks are ok? Is that what you're saying?
