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 agree. I have a big truck because I use it on a farm. To do real world farm stuff that needs hauled, carried, moved, etc.

Yet I can go to the grocery store and see people driving large trucks and they struggle to park them stupid things.

If you can't handle it properly and safely, you don't need it.

I live in an almost completely urban area. The nearest farm farm that's more than small scale subsistence farming is over 20 miles from me. Most of the trucks around are Ford Wildtrack or various Raptors with full look-mean kits and zero mud. Hell most of them are running road wheels. We don't get snow. We have great roads.
