I've spent the last week in the UK
I've spent the last week in the UK. Number of pickup trucks I've seen? Nearly zero.
So my fellow Americans, if you think you need a truck, ask yourself how other countries do just fine without giant pickups.
Perhaps it's about image, not utility.
Here's a thoughtful post by @mrmoneymustache on the topic.
American pickups are a scam. Advertising has convinced men they need a huge, expensive pickup. Most don't. And the few that do, might be better off with a *true* work truck.
