Well which one is it? I've literally only seen suburban LARPers who can't even thread a ratchet strap buy or defend Ford trucks. I've spent decades of my life on construction job sites. You wanna know how to separate the serious career guys from the burnout cons? The smart ones are driving paid off Toyotas and the idiots have light duty domestics.
Most potential truck buyers are car buyers who get upsold on the lot.
👌👍
You clearly know nothing of the market and buyers nor a willingness to understand. You just want to lecture buyers who have different priorities and needs and don't religiously follow /r/personalfiances buy a used Toyota take.
You fundamentally have misunderstood why Ford is successful, run your mouth about it, and then argued that the buyers are idiots. 👏👏👏
Ah, yes, the American consumer. Famous for their great financial judgment and ability to live within their means.
Protectionist policies, corporate lobbying, hostage market, historical opposition to union labor, and outsourcing production to Mexico and China? I understand those reasons well.
You type like you're from Twitter (currently X) and I recommend you go back.
Try towing a 13,000 pound trailer across the country with a Taco.
I'll wait.
