Rural Americans are importing tiny Japanese pickup trucks

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I live in Dallas and this is 100% true.

What’s fun is when you notice that the biggest, flashiest trucks are all concentrated in the fanciest suburbs. Once you get out in the country, off the main roads like where I’m from, suddenly (1) pickup trucks make up a lower percentage of the traffic, and (2) they are generally* smaller, more utilitarian and more beat up.

* except for the occasional F350 dually pulling an actual horse trailer

See a lot of "handy men" actually prefer old minivans as a "work truck".

Probably because nobody is missing the point. They understand that huge vehicles are largely bought as a status symbol and they're mocking those people for buying an unnecessarily enormous hunk of metal.
