Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

    On the one hand, lol. I hate massive pickup trucks so much and anything annoying the people who buy them brings me joy. On the other hand, this isn't going to stop there...

    Eh, it's a SUV. It doesn't excuse this but you shouldn't have bought that box of death on wheels in the first place.
