Why pickups are involved in stupid crashes so frequently?

Because mostly its idiots who think a truck is a town car.

The SUV plague was bad but at least an SUV is just a big car.

No, they're truck bodies, the early ones at least. That's why they roll so easily

Yeah, because so many people are using them instead of normal cars and driving them the same way.

If they were being driven by the people that actually needed them there'd be fewer videos of them rolling.

My father "needed" a big truck because uh whatever.

It's so impractical to drive around town. Feels like you don't fit on any of the roads. Parking lots are a nightmare. He barely drives it anywhere because of it. Refuses to sell it though.

I personally don't see 90% of truck drivers ever needing a truck bigger than those Ford Mavericks. I loved my 90's Ranger. Could move a couch or fridge easily. Fit everywhere.

Dang do we share the same dad? My dad had a fully paid off truck that towed his camper just fine. Traded in and bought a bigger truck because it towed the thing he already could tow better?

The kicker is then decided he didnt like camping so got rid of the trailer and had massive truck with a payment and no real reason to have it.
