That's most truck owners. Come at me.

But there's that one guy that drives his truck to and fro his office job every day because he hates gas. But then twice a year he mixes some cement so it's totally valid.

I'll come at you by correcting it to NEW truck owners. If you are afraid of scratching your truck you shouldn't be owning a truck. Also, exceptions apply for states that regularly see feet of snow during the winter where four wheel drive or awd are a necessity for safe driving.

Large trucks are gender affirming care.

My favorite is truck nuts. Did the truck want bottom surgery?

New meme:

Truck nuts are bottom surgery for men who don't have any

Don't say that too loudly or they might get taxed more /j

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Basically, unless you legit haul stuff regularly.

I have an S10. A 22 year old, 2-wheel drive compact pickup. I routinely visit a sawmill in that truck. For grocery trips I've got an old Buick I'm trying to wear out.

I have a 10 year old ford suv. It’s got a tow hitch for the atvs, AWD for the snow in the mountains, but is otherwise a comfy leather couch to cruise around in and neatly backs into a compact car spot. The giant pavement princesses are just obnoxious

I could see owning a pickup truck the size of a 90's F-150. I would like a bed that has a proper 4x8 area on the floor of the bed to carry full sheets of plywood, flat on the deck. But I don't need the machine to be that much bulkier than my S10. I live in the middle of North Carolina, it snows 6 times a decade here. I use my pickup to carry lumber, furniture, trash etc. on paved roads.

If a truck is older than say 2015, has dings, scratches or mud. It's probably their work truck. If it's lifted, clean, etc. It's a pavement princess. Ive also heard that a lot of those trucks that are diesel having constant problems because they aren't hauling or driving long enough to get the engine nice and hot to burn some of the build up. Never owned a diesel so don't @ me.

[–] Saleh@feddit.org 18 points 1 week ago

Its the particle filter that needs a good burning every once in a while. Otherwise it gets clogged and can't filter anymore and also reduces your exhaust flow.

It is indeed a problem with many diesel cars that are only used for city drives. As for the driving itself diesel is more chill than gasoline because the maximum torque is reached at lower rpm and it is more difficult to stall the engine than a gasoline engine so manual gear is easier.

Ya I hate that I have a truck because it makes me guilty by association but I like to go camping most weekends and it's just the best tool for the job in my opinion

It's black and there are scratches down both sides of the truck from foliage and shit which I intentionally don't buff out because I think it actually looks cooler being obviously "used" lol

Fun fact but on Vancouver Island these scratches are known as "BC pinstripes"

[–] faythofdragons@slrpnk.net 7 points 6 days ago

I'm just south of the BC border, and I saw the absolute coolest truck a few years back. It's a vibe out here.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Pavement princesses annoy me. When I see a huge truck sparkling like it just pulled out of a showroom, I figure they don't really need a truck, they just bought it to show off.

The scratches mean you actually use your truck as a truck.

My mom drives a full size pickup and all she does is get groceries with it, drives me mad

She says "it's safer" and "i don't like sitting on the ground" lol

This woman is 5ft tall

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

she should get a booster seat then

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

The pedals in her pickup have a switch that moves the pedals up and down even high enough for her lol

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No hate, I had a Nissan Frontier, I loved that damn truck. I really only used it like a truck a handful of times tho. I had to sell her when I moved overseas.

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Good truck. I have a 2007 gmc sierra with the 6.5ft box with one of those grandpa style tall canopies and i have a bed and stove built in the back for adventuring

Drove from victoria bc to fairbanks alaska and it has 330,000km and it gives me zero issues (except the stupid fucking window switches, I've replaced the four of them like 3 times now)

[–] Brotha_Jaufrey@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The people with lift kits and glaring lights underneath who never have towed a single thing in their lives are who you call pavement princesses

[–] dankm@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 days ago

I saw some dbag the other day driving a perfectly clean Ford F-350. In Western Canada. In April. It was clean. He was also headed downtown and wearing a suit. That truck has never had so much as a pebble in the treads of its tires.

[–] qwertilliopasd@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

As someone who has a truck that does truck things you are being too generous with "most". That's almost all truck owners.
