why do normies LOVE trucks so much?
toxic masculinitymen are constantly assessed to prove their worth and having such an oversized, consumptive vehicle projects strength, wealth, and masculinitymost people would be better served by a well-made compact crossover, like a Kia SportageOr, for families, the spacious Kia Carnival
I like trucks :)
>>28992975>kia>well maderuined your entire post kek
>>28992978kias are the most well made non-luxury cars currently soldtry one for yourself, you might be surprised
>>28992984blowing up @ 100k miles isnt well made chud
>>28992972>why do normies LOVE trucks so much?Because what most people want are big, spacious, powerful cars with rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive. CAFE regulations made it illegal to build cars like that so everyone got forced into trucks and SUVs. Now those regs are finally gone, but even if carmakers started making big, spacious cars again, those will have to share the road with millions of giant trucks that'll decapitate a car driver in a serious crash, so people will still go for the trucks.
>>28992991man made out of straw
>>28992972Normies work real jobs and lots need trucks
>>28992975
>>28992975>toxic masculinityNo such thing exists. If you try to argue it's a real thing, you probably got buttfucked by your dad as a kid
>>28993007Unfortunately this, as cars got cucked by turbo shit, trucks and SUVs were the way to go, what do you do when the Accord V6 goes away? Well you get a big ass Pilot that you may not need, but yoy wanted a J35 engine and thats how you got it.
>>28992975Begone shill
>normiesanyway, same reason normalfags like vagina
I can't believe that one anon asking about working at a dealership as a first job transformed into the kia spammer lmao
>>28993166There's legit hype for Kia these days
>>28993175and there always will be, for as long as there are people with sub-600 FICObut realistically the only thing Kia makes made that's interesting was the stinger, and that was actively harmed by the Kia badge and dealer treatment
>>28993030I dunno why anyone would WANT a J series engine, it isn't a particular good V6 it's just a V6. This is from someone that used to have a V6 Accord. SOHC timing belt with more problems than other V6.Reality of it is you should want a hybrid accord now. It's better than the J series. But you fags will complain about it having never driven.
>>28992972Not truck exclusive but big vehicles in general, make the peons in their tiny cars seem inferior.t. minivan owner
>>28992972Bigger than youStronger than youMore important than youWill run over you and crush you in case of a collisionFUCK YOU, GOT MINE
>>28992972they look coolbut, the real question is, why do you care?
>>28993027>masculinity is mentioned in relation to car buyer's mentality>unprompted, thoughts immediately go to having anal sex with his fathersomething you need to get off your chest?
>>28993022>Carscoops spoke with Alexander Edwards, President of Strategic Vision, a research firm that surveys some 250,000 car buyers each year. His data paints a clear picture: truck owners love their rides, even if they’re not particularly engaging to drive compared to other segments.>Nearly 90 percent of truck buyers said they never use their truck for business towing, as a mobile office, or as a work site. Yet nearly 40 percent said they drive their truck strictly for pleasure at least once a week.Accountants don't need trucks. They *like* them. That's fine.
Increasing rates of obesity mean more and more people are unable to fit comfortably in the average vehicle anymore. Trucks on the other hand are pretty roomy. Have you ever watched a fatty squeeze in and out of the average econobox? They make faces and groans as if theyre giving birth
>>28992972They're:>extremely practical>extremely comfy>pretty quick>V8 equipped (rare in this clown world)>RWD based (also rare in this clown world)>insane resale values>low maintenance and running costs>some of the longest lasting vehiclesFunny how every Euro on /o/ hates them yet all the tourists visiting for the world cup have been raving about American pickup trucks.
>>28993219>But you fags will complain about it having never drivenI've only ridden in of of those fuckers and the hybrids are fantastic, if I had fuck you money I'd buy one straight up
>>28992972They're retarded. If they actually needed to move shit around they'd be much better off with a van. These have the same specs as their truck counterparts but instead of the wasted space of a bed and having to cram a back seat area into the cab and it ends up tiny, you have a shit ton of space inside and can seat multiple rows of passengers.It isn't about the performance, they literally only care about looking rugged and bigger than other people.
>>28993371Show me a new 4x4 V8 van.
>>28992972>Masculinity crisis>Men increasingly insecure in their place in society>Trucks are marketed as masculinity itselfNot hard to understand
>>28993030Cant comprehend being soulless enough to care about muh cylinders more than about a good chassis.
>>28993317You'd have to be literally retarded to gulp up the north korea tier propaganda around the world cup lmao
>>28993808Ahaha. You people are starting to realize just how bad you have it.
>>28993814You really should start to question things when the best they could come up with for their propaganda campaign is fucking ranch dressing and a petrol station. Lmao.
>>28993794
>>28993843Where's the V8? Also the new ones are gay AWD not 4x4.
>>28993313Obesity has stabilized in the US for the past decade or so. Atleast for adults. Wrong. Try again.
>>28993857Why are you so obese?
>>28993848Are you a boomer? It's not 1960s anymore, no one cares about V8s now.
>>28993859>no one cares about V8s nowforced induction is woke and gay
>>28993865Well then have fun being poor I guess.
>>28993865>forced inductionYou mean externally excited motors? Permanent-magnet synchronous motor are more popular anyway.
>>28993848Funny how that the awd ia better for everything you americans use road going vehicles for vs part time 4x4
>>28993801>Men increasingly insecure in their place in societyJust the closet gays, the small dick ones and the unfortunates stuck in HR cubicles because they couldnt land anything else.
>>28993801There is no masculinity crisis. What the f does that even mean? Masculinity is whatever you as a man want to be.
>>28992972The difference between Americans and Europeans is that Americans will buy a car for the 1% of time that they will use its intended function for, while Europeans on the other hand generally have less money and are thus much more practical in car buying so they buy a vehicle for what they will use it for 99% of the time. My dad is the perfect example of this. He is a sales manager, yet he drives a v8 f150. Why? Well he tows a drift boat one to two times a year of course. Americans will buy a vehicle for the once a year they go camping, or move a couch, or buy lumber from Home Depot, or whatever else. Europeans buy a car for daily driving in tight city streets, and then when they need to tow something, they either just say fuck it and go over the rated towing capacity for their VW polo, or they rent a vehicle or find some other solution. I also think that the average person is generally quite scared and nervous about where society is headed. Objectively speaking if shit hits the fan a large 4x4 truck is the most useful type of vehicle to have. Americans just have the money to quell their paranoia, whilst Europeans do not.
>>28992975That's not toxic masculinity.That's small men trying to appear masculine.It's not toxic when they don't have any Riz to begin with.
>>28992972They like LARPing as blue collar
>>28993371Contractors show up in a truck to give an estimate and in a van when they actually have to do the work
>>28992976Nice bro.Back at ya :)
>>28993997>They like LARPing as blue collarkek.--Cue Johnny Cash background music-->Honey..you wont believe what I had to endure today...
>>28992972>>28992975b8
Well I would drive a car but everything they make now is extremely gay and ugly.
>be me>live in an apartment>don't bike>don't camp>work an office job>still want a truckmy "cope" is that I want safety in a car crash. there's so many Pajeets nowadays where I live, especially truckers, that having the added protection of a truck seems worthwhile
It’s very simple OP. I am a serial killer. I was inspired by the movie Death Proof. I buy a truck. Jack it up. Slap on some mud tires. Then I run over faggots driving Kias to shoot my goo. After the third time my insurance rates are killing me but it beats getting raped in jail or blue juiced by the feds.
>>28993859>no one cares about V8s now.>i have never left my cityEven most of the people who relent to a turbo 6 or 4 still PREFER a v8 but the situation doesnt allow.
>>28993985Thats not really by choice on the euros side. Its usually quite prohibitive either due to cost or space constraints. There are a lot of folk in europe who want a V8 full size. The ram is probably the most exported fullsize out of america because it is the most "American" looking of the bunch.
>>28993964There definitely is.
>>28993985
>>28994439>wealth per adultwhat does that mean? what qualifies as wealth? is this just net worth?
>>28994449>Wealth includes both financial and non-financial assets
>>28994439>Nearly 90% of adults in Africa own less than USD 10,000, and 74% of adults in India fall in this range. Meanwhile the fraction is 30% in Europe, 19% in China and just 18% in North America. On the other hand, 32% of adults in Europe and 53% in North America have wealth above USD 100,000. The wealth distribution in both Latin America and the Asia-Pacific region resembles the pattern in the world as a whole, with Latin America showing 60% and Asia-Pacific 62% of all adults owning less than USD 10,000.
>>28993317We could have had utes instead...
>>28994574People do not want them.
>>28994574We had them and nobody bought them because they were inferior to real pickup trucks.
>>28994574How about kei utes?
>>28992975It’s actually because all “masculinity” in modern society is outsourced to symbols
>>28993964Cope
>>28992972Micro penis cope. They drive like shit too
>>28994488>Trying to flex horrible wealth inequality
>>28993985This post is why I have the hybrid approach>Focus for the commuter>F150 beater for the odd ball stuffFuck renting a truck from Home Despot or U-Haul. I'm not optimizing my finances around a some monthly chump change for the car insurance on the truck.
>>28995170Sorry that Americans are just better than you.
I rented one once, sitting high up makes you feel superior. But they are slow as fuck and sitting closer to ground is better for driving
>>28993874I oiled up your mom last night
