    It’s been my experience that F-150 owners are arrogant, southern-fried buttholes, but anyone who owns a Cybertruck is probably worse, just by merit of being associated with Elon Musk.

      Lots of people drive Tesla, I’m not gonna judge them for Musk.

      But if this turns into another oversized seppo tank on our roads I’ll blame them for buying it.

      I mean… they can. I drive a Maverick. My bed easily fits a riding mower, a weed eater, pressure washer, pole saw, and all the manual yard tools I could need for working on other people’s yards.

      And my wife and children can also comfortably ride in it when I’m using it for family transportation. And I average 43 miles to the gallon.

      Not every truck needs a full size bed, and four doors doesn’t make a truck less useful but more.
