    Yes, do you know what makes them relevant in their industry? Recognizing they aren’t a monolith and making decisions based off of data that their employees process.

      And I guess none of these employees are women in your perfect world?

      A lot of men buy these trucks, for sure. But not because they have a damn choice in the states. Maybe dial back the sexism a tad, and you could realize that from the beginning to almost-the-end, everyone is involved.

      Also, for what it’s worth, men dont have a choice to buy small trucks due to regulations regarding fuel efficiency and size of vehicles. Turns out a lot of men actually buy these things for work, and they can’t choose otherwise.

      But congrats on blaming men for having no options.

      You got that going for you, I guess.

        I really don’t know, truth be told I don’t really look at any corporation as the individuals that make it up. They’re all a part of the same monster, and that does skew my understanding of certain dynamics.

        I don’t really know if I agree with the idea that men are trapped into buying bigger and bigger trucks. Truth be told, all I know is my experience on the road - the guys driving the biggest trucks end up being the most aggressive assholes. Make of that what you will.

          You dont agree?

          You dont fucking agree with reality?

          Jesus fucking christ, go fuck your self.

          There is literally legislation in the US that prevents small trucks from being sold from the big 3, and even legislation that prevents small Japanese trucks from being sold in some states.

          You believe what you want to, I guess. Continue being an uneducated waste of space.

            Are you talking about Kei trucks? Are you seriously hinging your entire argument on legislation preventing vehicles that are less than 25 years old from being imported?

            Or are you talking about the chicken tax and CAFE standards? Because, guess what, the cheapest price I found for a brand new GMC truck is 47 grand. Cheapest price I’m seeing for a brand new Toyota Tacoma is 31k. Top tier models come out to about 50k.

            And even they’re still too big, but none of that matters to you because you need a truck for truckin around doin’ truck stuff!

            Edit: shit, I can find a used tacoma from 2005 that would be a better price and size than your average brand new monster truck. Anyone trying to tell me that I’m rejecting reality in a used truck market like this tells me they’ve got skin in the game.

            Fuck the reality people like you create.
