I agree. There are, of course, a few people that drive an HD truck as a daily, but it's not the majority by any means. They make awful daily drivers. Very thirsty, bouncy, steers like an aircraft carrier, etc. But for towing, they're pretty great.

You would be surprised. My Ram 2500 has coil spring suspension, and rides better than most sedans. And gets better mileage than my early 2000’s midsize truck. But yeah, the Subaru is much cheaper per mile to drive.
