Supply issues continue to plague the industry, but these are the models that managed to reach the most buyers in 2022.

And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

      I wish. More shitty American pickups in the Netherlands each year, further encouraged by a tax loophole.

      I hope the gas prices bleed these fuckers dry…

        I’m even noticing more trucks and SUVs in Japan now. There are very few of the super doody retard mobiles that seem very common in the US, but I have seen them, and there are plenty of people driving chunky Jeep and Mercedes trucks which still look too large for the streets here. I really hope there is not a trend, but SUVs definitely seem to be increasing in number.

        Thankfully very small kei cars are still popular.

    Within the “truck” class of vehicles, EPA fuel efficiency standards are based on weight. It’s easier to build heavy trucks and SUVs that meet those standards, than light trucks.

    Effectively, the US government legislated heavier trucks and SUVs.

    Video that explains it.

    People (Men especially) think their status in life depends on their vehicle. They just can’t get over the idea that bigger is not always better. It’s how you use it that matters.

    In all seriousness, vehicles have been a status signifier ever since they were created and everyone loves to say that they are better(richer) than the Joneses next door. Being bigger and taller than others is viewed as good in society and in vehicles.

    Unless you work in construction, or have a similar need for a pickup, fuck you for buying one.

    Here’s a fun anecdote: I live in California, where these vehicles are (mostly) limited to those who need them. In 2018, I visited family in the midwest. We played a game of counting the pickups while walking a short trip from a hotel to a chain outlet. We hit 99 pickups by the time we got to the doors. I was irritated that we got to 99 and not 100 cause that would have been so awesome, but seriously. 99?! In just several minutes. People drive them for fashion, not for practical need.

    Every pickup driver that doesn’t “need” a pickup is my enemy.
