On my drives, I usually count how many pickup trucks are carrying something/anything. I have one this is Austin, Kansas City, Seattle, Los Angeles. My assumption when I started was that this data would differ by location and about 40% trucks would be carrying something.

In reality the average is 2 out of 100 trucks carried anything in my counting. The highest I have seen in Los Angeles with 6 trucks carrying something.

That makes me believe that when you own a pickup truck, there is a small change of needing its large bed and powerful engine.

It maybe like gaming ready computer, swimming pools or fireplaces - usage is very low for most people, but you just might need it urgently someday. Or you think you might change your habits if you buy it

It may depend on when you are driving as well. I saw several trucks carrying things just yesterday on the way to get my 2nd COVID shot. Anecdotally 2% seems very low to me (around central Ohio). It does seem that in the middle of day or on weekend afternoons I notice it more though.

Time and location could certainly be important to the count. Ill try afternoons and different parts of time next.
