The vast, vast majority of truck owners use it in some way that a passenger vehicle is completely unsuited for. That there exist a handful of urbanites who drive a truck for the looks alone does not discount this fact. I see the trope a lot, however, from people who have never done blue collar labor in their lives. I had a Tacoma before the F350, I used it for camping and carried a roof top tent on a bed mounted rack. It was great, I never went camping more than when I had that truck. It was so easy and carefree to take a trip to the woods with no packing or planning required.
Those camping trips are why I <3'd my Taco and will likely get something similar in the future as the kids get older.

No one claimed otherwise. I feel like we've become a nation of, "This isn't right for me so it isn't right for anyone" bigotry.
None of you are bringing any stats to the table, just a bunch of personal anecdotes. And there is a lot of people in the US, no way any of you know enough people to make a reliable claim about what 'most people do' across that large land. But there must be some statistics on this, no?
