It's a commercial vehicle. Very few, if any, people drive them as normal commuter vehicles.

Okay because despite being a commercial vehicle I would have believed someone telling me that it's mostly used to commute in a residential area lol. Often people drive pickups because they feel they need a truck even tho they never use the bed
