Where I live, I see pickups and Jeeps that I call show trucks and show jeeps. The guys, and they’re practically always factory workers or gym rats, have them all shiny and full of options, and they baby the hell out of them, because they have so much money tied up in them. They wouldn’t dare get them dirty or take them off road. Or risk getting a tiny ding or scratch on them. And they always park them in the far corners of parking lots, or they take up two parking spaces, or park somewhere, where no one can park beside them. It’s gotta be stressful to worry so much about your expensive pickup or jeep. I can’t imagine how much worse it would be with a pickup described in the article.
Those are the types who get that Jeep stuck on the beach 200 yards in..
We have nice cars but a car is still just a car. I have hauled mulch in my Jag. I pull up to Home Depot and have them load 6 bags of wood pellets in it. I was just putting a kid seat in for the baby grandkid and realized I never cleaned the mud off the leather seats after I hauled home a bunch of plants last time. lol
Where we live we see lots trucks all ticked out like that but most of them are for USE and not show. For example you can always tell a show jeep. It has the huge tires and the fancy extra lights and a bumper that looks like a battering ram, but look all over and there high lift jack. A real offroad machine might look almost the same but they darn sure have a jack and they probably have some faint ‘pinstripe’ scratches in the paint.
