      Almost everyone I know with an SUV only has one because “I might need the space someday!” And 99% of the time either leaves random shit in the back or it’s just empty.

      Same things with trucks. That bed is almost always vacant.

      But the one time they actually use it for the space, it’s suddenly all “see??? I sure am glad I bought a (blank)!”

      There are a few exceptions I know, but if the ratio is anything consistent across America, it would explain a lot.

      Meanwhile my friend who drives a Prius can fit a surprising amount of stuff in that hatch and still has better acceleration and gas mileage than any of them…

        It’s interesting seeing how many around me have pickups essentially as a personality trait with a pristine bed. I only use a pickup when I absolutely need to because diesel is expensive and I get much better mileage in my sedan.

        Sorry to hear that, then. One could hope the government tries to step in, but there sure will be loads of people to try and defend their right to buy wannabe monster trucks to haul their fragile egos around.
