    So, just out of interest.

    How many times did you move from Chicago to NW Florida?

      Once. Obviously. I also used that van as a contractor. A minivan is a PITA vs. a truck for most tasks.

      Shit. Forgot. This is lemmy where truck drivers are despised, hateful MAGA fucks.

        It’s not in any way related to MAGA, it’s because so many truck owners don’t use them for anything you need a truck for 99% of the time. They’re driven by millions of people as a daily commuter vehicle, with the excuse of needing to move something occasionally, which could be handled by a rental. Then there’s the shitty fuel economy and increased pollution from it, and needlessly massive designs now that are a hazard to pedestrians and other vehicles.

        There are real uses, and a ton of truck owners use them for what they’re designed for. Especially for small businesses. But you can’t deny there are a large number of pavement princesses and truck owners that are just overcompensating.

        If you need a truck regularly no one is going to come after you. We only hate truck owners that do a few truck things a year.

        BUT, if you are pro-MAGA you can suck on DEEZ.
