People who buy these things don't really want "a truck"

They want a vehicle which aesthetically resembles a truck, so their super manly male man ego can be satisfied, but which is actually just an SUV with extra steps.

Honestly, if these trucks weren't bigger while hauling less than my mom with her old clio and trailer, I might be ok with calling em SUVs. These weird pickups are an insult to all other cars.

Oh no! I drive a Prius! Whatever will I tell my wife and kids?
