  • could I have towed a trailer in an Audi s3?

    Yes although not as heavy a trailer as a big truck can handle. Torque is also important and trucks are geared (and many other design considerations) to haul heavier loads.

    But owning a pickup truck is almost never about hauling, it’s about a certain kind of social status and group symbolization. That’s why you’ll see $100,000 class trucks (often modified) in run down trailer parks, or suburbia where everyone commutes to an office. Burning more gas (and vile things lile “rolling coal”) are also status symbols in this space.
