Maybe it's because I am in tech, but not a single person in my friends group drives a pickup truck. Even now that I've moved to Wyoming, there are no truck owners. To be fair, pickups suck in our weather. A lot of Subaru and vans though.

I guess what I am saying is that maybe gas guzzling pickups aren't an American thing as much as they are a specific type of American thing.

    They're popular with a certain personality. White males who need to demonstrate their mannitude. Hell of a lot of money to pay for performative machismo.

    Just tell those "personalities" that you can afford driving a small car, because you don't need your car for compensating something. They'll know what.
