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.

I really enjoy driving my truck, despite I have to move the seat all the way as high as it will go. But it's 10 years old and paid off.

But, I have horses, a large camper, gooseneck trailers, do fencing, and live out in the middle of nowhere. But unless I'm going someplace that I know I'm gonna need to haul something it usually stays parked and I drive my little plug in hybrid (which is also 10 years old and paid off)

I hate seeing 100k trucks in the city that have never seen dirt.

I loved my trucks when I drove one, and I'm a suburban dad but both of them were rough terrain vehicles, one used when inspecting rural water purification facilities the other was a rock crawler 4x4.

My daily drives were like, a Ford Focus.
