Instead, experts say, much of the big pickup mania is being driven by consumers' self-image. "Today, personality and imagery are playing an even more important role in how consumers choose which truck is right for them," Strategic Vision researcher Alexander Edwards told Axios.
The firm surveys owners each year about the character traits they associate with their vehicle. Two words set F-150 owners apart: “powerful” and “rugged.”

dude, the trucks are just stupid security blankets. which would be fine if they weren't such a nuisance, a danger to others on the road, and didn't take up 4 parking spots. congrats, you are doing the exact opposite of making a case for buying one of these ridiculous bullshits

Where is the data and methodology? Oh right it's not there.

LOL you're literally demonstrating my point with every comment you make. it would be adorable if it weren't so sad. best advice i can give you is stop being SOOOOO concerned about what the entire world thinks about your own perceived lack of manliness

It's amazing how folks get off topic and start personal attacks when you point out they are making things up.

Been a year and not a single one of you have been able to actually pull the data on trucks y'all love to bitch about.

It's cult/GOP like.
