> It might surprise you that the overwhelming majority who buy trucks do so because they work a blue collar occupation

And yet so many new trucks have a single driver hauling a trailer with stuff while the bed is empty because the bed is too short to carry anything useful.

The extra cab area, of course, isn't useful because there's only one person. The bed area isn't useful because the cab area has shortened the bed.

So, that driver has to expend the space and weight for a trailer because he bought a truck that isn't useful as a damn truck.
