    In my personal American experience, there’s a general notion that you need a pickup truck to tow anything; there’s so much marketing about how big tough pickup trucks can tow so much stuff and you really need this. So I think the implication of this post is less of a “fuck cars” and more of a “fuck trucks in particular”

      I use my old 3/4 ton all the time it is great for yard work and getting stuff (big things not like groceries). But I would never think of using it to commute or move people. I think people get sold on these trucks being all big and powerful but they always seem to use them like a minivan, and a minivan also can tow things.
