Why are Americans obsessed with SUVs and trucks? They don't need them, they act like they own the road...

>No, not really, most newer models get better gas mileage than 90'2/early 2000 cars.
maybe that's true if you don't get a V8, but what is the point of a truck without one
my 2010 Hemi gets 11mpg in the city lol

Dam shame. I bought Ram 1500 Laramie (std cab short bed) the first year they came with a HEMI. Fucking miss that truck. Looked tough as hell. The MDS shit came later or I would've kept it. Damn gas prices were crazy back then.

More projection.

I have no problem with them if you need them for camping, towing, hauling construction stuff or farm stuff. But if you just drive them to work or the supermarket to be up high, the I think it's wrong. Such people should pay higher registration fees.

CO2 levels are correlated with temperature.It's been proven and you are anti-science.

>Such people should pay higher registration fees.
why? because my feelz?

The auto industry pushes them because they make more money on suvs and trucks. Trucks are associated with masculinity, manlyness, etc...
Just watch a truck commercial.

Trucks do pay a higher registration fee in most states numb nuts.

>CO2 levels are correlated with temperature.It's been proven and you are anti-science.
how do basic bitch liberals even find their way to this site?

Truck nuts looks silly on the back of a Prius.

trucks allow your vehicle to have aniche (pulling things, transporting large things etc) as well as allow you to look over most traffic

SUVs are the safest and carry the most people which is a perfect fit for people concerned with their family and the fact the highest death toll comes from car accidents

It has yet to be proven that global temperature increases are a bad thing

This is not a valid argumentative response. You are nothing.

>Such people should pay higher registration fees.
That's ass backwards. If everyone drove small eco cars gas taxes and fees would have to go up since all states capitalize on gas taxes. Some more than others but still. Look at Oregon when they all started driving those retarded Prius's that are horrible for the environment lol. Fuck I love dumb people. For entertainment if nothing else. Need a balance. Always a balance regardless of application.

You are an idiot.

I'm happy with my size.
You don't even know what you're talking about.
Even V8 on the highway can get better mileage than many cars.
Diesel falls into this bracket as well.
>11mpg in the city lol
Nobody gives a shit about city driving.
Go buy a rape van if you hate your mileage so much.

Because they cause more wear and tear on the roads.

Imagine being so utterly useless in life that you get mad at your neighbor for owning tools.

>This is not a valid argumentative response. You are nothing.
>You are an idiot.
the irony

>Why are Americans obsessed with SUVs and trucks?

Americans are not smart people.

>he proves my point

Suck on my $100k SUV, 510 hp V8 exhaust you faggot

Construction workers need large trucks to haul tools, and material around

more often than not you are right though.
Most people that own trucks have no business owning them
If you don't put your truck to work regularly sell it. It's meaningless to anything, but your pride.

>Americans are not smart people.
We don't need to be. We're fantastic consumers which has driven science and technology just fine for a hundred years.
I mean shit. Who cares about being smart when you have free internet porn amirite? You're welcome btw.

Whether they need them or not is missing the point. It's all about the social status that comes from obscenely expensive conspicuous consumption items like obnoxiously impractical big ass vehicles

I've never met a person who owned a truck not utilize the bed space.

There is a difference between an ad-hominem as a response to an actualy argument (My original response) and an ad-hominem responding to a blatant display of unintelligent ("Temperature increase has not been proven to be a bad thing.") To reply to such in an argumentative way would just be an insult to everyone's intelligence and a waste of time.

>You don't even know what you're talking about.
>Even V8 on the highway can get better mileage than many cars.
lol so physics doesn't apply? your entire premise is retarded on its face - what kind of magic do the auto companies have that allow larger, heavier vehicles with larger/more powerful engines produce better fuel economy?

the things you buy do not define who you are
you've fallen for the (((materialism))) trap and you are going to be in debt until you die

Noice Ram mang.

Question are you fucking retarded. Compensating no that's you projecting. I get 19mpg out of mine.

Coz they look good lel

I get terrible gas mileage with MDS on, it either makes no difference, or it would be even worse without it

it also makes odd noises

You are such a fucking fag. Who cares what they drive? Kill yourself.

The fucking Griswold family truckster makes an appearance.
>Be gone truckster!

You're taking my post completely out of context now.
I said a lot of newer trucks get better mileage than older cars.
Learn to read, faggot.

I just bought raptor yesterday, it felt surreal as i never considered a truck before. I saw it on the lot and walked out with it lol. true story. $86k

Sure it is.

im not driving on michigan roads without a fucking 4x4.

They're should be more unibody trucks around for the SUV crowd who wants a bed but not the weight.
A Prius truck would probably sell well.

Another cool thing would be if they made a hybrid with a diesel generator that only recharges the batteries

MDS was a sales gimmick. Maybe it made Obummer fags happier I dunno.
The GM stuff is almost as bad. Drove a Colorado that I thought was breaking done. Nope just some whacky MPG shit they added to gain 2MPG.

You are the exact type of person that I ask
"Why do you have a truck"
And they answer
"I just like trucks. What's the problem?"

You're the problem.

Of course it’s a fucking Mexican posting this crap

Idk about Americans but Albertans need them for our shit roads, pulling trailers, winter driving and other activities. Plus the fuel difference won't matter until aircraft and ships are subjected to the same environmental regulations.

>You're the problem.
Why are liberals the biggest biggots?

I work with thoroughbreds.
I ship horses.
I haul Hay.
I pickup feed.
I use my truck daily.
Anymore retarded questions?

>You're taking my post completely out of context now.
>I said a lot of newer trucks get better mileage than older cars.
>Learn to read, faggot.
good point. yet what you said isn't even really true. everything (mostly) was fuel injected in the 90s, they already had Corollas that could do 40mpg. the only vehicles you'd find to prove your point is heavy stuff like a Lincoln LS or something - Crown Vics or Cadillacs

either way, trucks get shitty mileage. it's just a fact of life. having 400lb-ft of torque makes up for it

so I can take all my guns and ammo and more ammo with me wherever I go in my free nation you commie turd burying fagtron

Nice trucc m8.

inflation is real. I like the new Raptor, but fuck that turbo V6 in the ass. I'm sure it's beyond fast as shit, but I can't get past the rice burner exhaust note

Beaner yeah whatever, at least i wouldnt caught dead driving a prius like you tranny

>they already had Corollas that could do 40mpg
I said many cars from the 90's, not all.
Stop replying to me, you fucking retard.
You can't even properly read posts.

Needs to be more standard cabs. Fuck me it's hard to find a clean truck with a standard cab. If I wanted 10 seats I'd buy a damn minivan.

>I said many cars from the 90's, not all.
>Stop replying to me, you fucking retard.
>You can't even properly read posts.
imagine getting this angry over being wrong

i like small 80's and 90's japanese sports cars and huge american diesel pick up trucks

Because they are safer and provide better FOV due to hight.

I'm not even close to a liberal
I actually have a reason to own a truck.
The vast majority of faggots I see with them have no business owning them

I will say it again. If you don't put your truck to work regularly sell it. It serves no purpose other than to your fragile fucking ego.
The fact you automatically assume I am liberal without any reason to think so other than I hurt your feelings proves you need to work on yourself.
Fucking mongrel

Me calling you what yo are is me getting mad?
No user, you're just retarded and backtracking every single post and you should just stop.

How come 90% of SUV/truck fags hog the left lane and do the speed limit and then get triggered by myself or wife having passed them? They also are always in some faggy gas job. If you're gonna buy a truck get a diesel.

I always do the at em if they flip me off and they puss away and look elsewhere immediatly.

t. diesel car driver who thinks speed limits are for faggots who dont know how to control a car or pay attention. I drive better drunk than most people do sober.

Cool you should own one then.
Why are you arguing for my point, and then acting like I am some bad guy.
Oh you're probably fucking stupid, and have bad reading comprehension.

They have small dicks. It’s that simple.

Okay. So you're a fucking standard conservative biggot. Exxxxuse me. But you're still a judgy faggot that no body like irl I bet.

You started in on me, I stated I've never met someone who owned a truck that didn't utilize it.
You got mad and started going unhinged about sisters houses.

That's great, but do you realize there are people who just drive their SUV or pick up truck to the office, school, or mall?

So?

>Trucks do pay a higher registration fee in most states numb nuts
This

My truck cost me $5000

Fight me faggot

The bank owns that not you

Turning off cylinders while on the highway. Only uses all 8 when needed. Most V8's these days will be a 4 banger while on highway driving.

This* whoops

lol what's your point? are we supposed to ban this? is this an outrageous activity?

misallocation of resources? maybe

I own a 2002 Ford Expedition because I haul my camper cross-country whenever I go camping.

Not only that but I like being higher off the ground and being able to see my surroundings better, Expeditions are some of the longest-lasting vehicles to boot.

For most people it's just tied to redneck culture, they don't really think about it. I'd rather have a sports car. Better gas milage and similar ability to dick wag about "muh hotrod". Sure it can't haul anything but when every other person owns a damn truck it's not exactly hard to get your hands on one for a day.

>be in debt until you die
I paid off my f150 of Saturday you faggot. How the fuck do you expect me to get lumber to my house with a fucking car?

>Turning off cylinders while on the highway. Only uses all 8 when needed. Most V8's these days will be a 4 banger while on highway driving.
lmao yeah I know, I have MDS in my Ram. it sounds like an air compressor when it switches to 4cyl and totally ruins the exhaust note. still gets terrible gas mileage.

because fuck you I want one

I had the reverse thought, I wanted something with a V8 and I figured a truck might be more useful than something like a Challenger with no usable seats/trunk

but trucks are indeed EVERYWHERE, I just personally do not know anybody with one that I could borrow

Shit has changed entirely since 2010

Checked and that Power Wagon is tits

>Shit has changed entirely since 2010
yeah now you get an engine that turns off at every stop light and starts up again. that shit drives me crazy.

I've never actually had a vehicle with it, so maybe it's not so noticeable, but it seems beyond absurd to me (and it's very noticeable on other peoples' vehicles in traffic)

I'm going to buy my wife a brand new truck this year.
She'll never utilize it.
If she ever hit any of you weasels in your prius, I know her chances of survival are better than yours.
If I knew she'd drive a mack truck around, I'd buy her one of those instead.
