right, like you're using your vehicle appropriately for its capabilities. people seem to think that they need to use it at 10% of its capabilities

10%? Try 1%... For every 1 of me in this area there are literally 10 lifted king cab shortboxes that never get used for truck purposes on the highway for the same commute as me.

The excuse is always "but I need it if I go offroad or want to tow my boat/camper to the lake!" as if they do that more than once a year.
