Why is it so popular? I never really understood that. If you regularly haul shit, I totally get that. But most of America isn't doing that. Even in the most rural parts of the country, it's not like it's even every week. It makes more sense for them, but it's still so interesting to me.
I think it's just odd for me since I think the F-150 looks a bit odd. But I'd rather see those, as opposed to the bigger brother versions
I mean one of the biggest reasons is that a lot of people just like trucks, and they like having something that's capable of doing more than a car/SUV.
Now trucks are comfortable for the driver and all of their passengers, they've got a ton of utility, especially the F-150, they're pretty fast, ride smooth and look good.
Fleet sales. Take that away and the most popular vehicle is either the Camry or Accord. They are always selling because fleet buyers beat the shit out of their trucks.
You can tell the 'working truck' drivers from the status symbol drivers by the way they park. The working drivers know how to park the damn thing in between the lines.
Most vehicles are more useful than a truck when it comes to the average drive.
I feel like some people just get them because they're like "well I'm gonna have to haul some stuff every now and then". And they end up doing that like three times over a decade lol
There's people that actually use the truck often, and I totally get that. But I feel like they're in the minority. Maybe I'm wrong though
Yep. I have a teuck bcz its a hand-me-down from my brother. The amount of fuckers in ANY car who cant park between the godforsaken FUCKING LINES make me want to carve out my teeth with a fuckin TOOTHPICK
Teslas by a long shot…at least in the Bay Area. You can’t go more than a few cars without seeing one here. I once counted the cars that my immediate coworkers drive and like 12 out 15 of them have one. 70% of my friends also have one.
Every time I think about cybertrucks I'm always surprised they're even legal. Might as well be driving a guillotine around with how heavy and angular they are.
Funny what a difference just being across the same country makes. I live in east TN and see maybe 1 tesla a week in town and they normally have out of town tags
Subaru Outback. We were just on a drive out to the coast last weekend and parked at a scenic viewpoint alongside three almost identical Outbacks. I joke that we could do driveby shootings and never get caught because the car is so common.

Tesla. So many damn Teslas ... and none of them can drive worth a damn. It used to be Audi drivers were the assholes on the road and Totyota Corolla drivers were the dangerous and/or stupid drivers ... now Tesla drivers have them both beat.
We have such a variety of vehicles that I don't know how you would really answer this...but JD Power says the most popular vehicle in VA is the Toyota RAV4. Can't say I've noticed that many of them, personally, though.
According to JD Power, it's the Honda CR-V. I was going to say something like the Honda Civic or Toyota Camry, but I guess the CR-V is more popular in the suburbs.
It’s crazy how much the MA = expensive assumption permeates every article about the state. Apparently the CRV is popular because of its good gas mileage, which is key when dealing with the high gas prices in the state (that are 24th out of 50).
MA is expensive, and does have higher incomes. Those are verifiable facts. Aside from that, there is a practicality here that is just ingrained in the culture. Just because a person can afford a BMW doesn't mean it's a smart purchase, when a Honda gets better mileage, needs fewer repairs, and will last longer. Also, in the case of the CR-V, it's a good all purpose vehicle that can handle all of the weather that this region throws at us.
Virginia is like 5 states and in those areas, it varies. In NOVA, some towns seem to have a ton of Teslas while others don't but still have the Lexus or luxury vehicle. Then that doesn't apply to the rest of the state. Virginia is weird. We're not a pickup kind of state.
No idea. In the NYC area it’s probably Honda Civics or Accords, even CRVs, maybe Toyota Camrys or Corollas. These cars are very common with Uber drivers and a lot of people have them overall.
Around where I live: Teslas, Audis, and top of the line Ford and Dodge pickups (which are all tricked out and will never, ever set a tire off pavement.)
Probably not the whole state, but my hometown has a bizarre overpopulation of squatted out 4-runners and Tacomas with rapper rims and neon lights. I can't wait for May 7th when the Aynor lean stops being legal. Jesus take the wheel.
varing models of Ford f150s and Suberu's, mostly outbacks but also alot of foresters and crosstrex.
Recently a fuck tone of broncos as well, which i have hopped on the bandwagon of and my wife and i got one last year, but before then third place was probably jeeps, mostly rubicons and wranglers.
F-150s apparently take the cake for the most popular vehicle in Colorado, followed closely by the Toyota 4Runner, Subaru Forester/Outback, and Nissan Xterra. Personally, I drive an Xterra (which is a great 4X4 vehicle).
I owned a 1960 Ford F-250 for several years, and was impressed by how well constructed it was. Today's F-150s dwarf my old 250. They're so gross... as are many of the people who drive them. They make them so big, to give the little weenie inside a feeling of power and dominance. You need a stepladder to look at the engine. The bed is way up there, but it don't matter 'cause you're never going to put anything in it. You just get it so you can feel important. It's easy to tell when somebody actually has a need for a truck, and when somebody's just trucking his big ego around.
Big giant $70k trucks. In any given parking lot I’ll be the only car, and especially the only Prius in a lot of 50+ vehicles. I live in North Dakota btw
I work at a grocery store so i see a SHIT TON of different cars. The most i see are trucks (Silverado's and F150s' mostly) and minivans (Honda's and Chryslers)
In my state, trucks are the most common vehicles. So Ford F150, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Dodge RAM, etc..
The most common vehicles I see that aren't trucks are small AWD SUVs such as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Subaru Forester, and other cars like that. We get a decent amount of snow here, so people want their daily driver to be something that isn't going to get stuck in the snow.
Subaru Outbacks are very common although I’ve seen a rise in Mazda CX-5. Toyota Tacoma is a popular truck option. I live near a lot of the big tech companies (seattle & the eastside) so lots of Teslas too. idk if those are as ubiquitous in the rest of WA.
