There are people who drive them because they need a truck. Most people drive them because "my truck looks sick af." My Silverado that is rusting away gets used when I need to haul stone or pull a trailer, when the snow plows haven't been out yet or I'm heading to where 4WD will keep me from being the subject of a "person disappeared with no trace" article, or when I'm waiting for a part to my Rabbit to arrive. Otherwise it's a gas hog, especially driving from stop light to stop light.

Agree! I live in suburban Southern California and every other vehicle is a huge club cab pick up, often driven by a young man. Aggressively.
