    I know someone with a PMC spouse who makes bank. He was saying they recently determined they need - not want, need - the absolute largest class of SUV.

    They have one kid and a large dog...

        I’m guessing it’s for the one camping trip they go on per year

        That’s how the PMC couch potatoes I know justified their humongous lifted trucks to their wives/themselves anyways

          I live in a major college town in the south and I can confidently say that 95% of the people who own humongous ass abominable F-150's are PMC Chud small business owner dickheads and rich frat bro douches. Only about 5% of the people who own said trucks actually need them for hauling.

            Recent large scale polling has determined that less than 1% of truck owners have ever towed or even used the bed of the truck. Ever.

            This is why I will never get rid of my 2012 Suzuki Equator. Suzuki doesn’t even exist anymore but I refuse to get a Ford. :big-cool:

            That's what the 90s, maybe up to mid-2000s, version of that guy would get. For the past 10-15 years it's been about TRUCKS

        Ostensibly they are thinking about buying a second large dog and they bring them on trips to the in-laws an hour away 10-15 times a year. Whatever, I said a Subaru could handle that just as well and at that he kinda backtracked on it being a "need" and not a "want".

        The rationale I've heard for wanting a battleship-sized SUV is that they are "safer" since allegedly if you get in an accident then the other guy in a smaller car will be crushed and you will be fine. I don't know if accidents even work that way but on a general level the idea of adding mass moving at high speed to accidents for safety's sake is absolute madness.
