It's honestly not that many. That's a very expensive truck for a daily driver. Most likely they have a large Airstream camper, horse trailer, or 5th wheel trailer or similar that they pull with it.

Sure, some people just like a big diesel truck for ego reasons. But the cost of them limits most people's ability to endulge that.

That’s what one would expect, but in some parts of the US it’s not uncommon to see dilapidated houses with a shiny tricked out F-150 that’s never worked a day in its life sitting out in the parking lot…

I think for some it’s an identity thing more than anything else.

I grew up in a suburb of Detroit, and when I went back to visit the family home a few years ago, every street was parked up on both sides with giant vehicles. It was a sight to behold.

They weren't all the most expensive trucks, and many were noticeably older. Things in our town went up and down with the cycle of the car industry.
