A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:

In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less

    Why don’t you post the original source for this data.

    You won’t because it’s shitty data.

    I’m going to get responses, if any, to a 2013 phone survey for 1000 people that splits users with shitty questions or a REFERENCE 2018 to a 2018 axios study but not the data because it’s only sold and under copyright. Even looking at the questions I’m nearly certain OP is talking about the first.

    I tow 12 times a year. But I don’t go off road. Ohhhh and look now I’m contributing to your shitty mutually exclusive population splits.

    You are parroting rage engagement bait and being manipulated.

    Prove me wrong .

              Mate, you’re the arsehole who started out blasting someone for a source (which was provided, btw) for a meme sharing some generally well-known stats (in the sense that it’s generally well-known that most drivers of yank tanks rarely use them for serious work that requires such a large vehicle, even if the specific numbers aren’t known). If you don’t want people like @aniki@lemmings.world to use weak emotional flame towards you, maybe don’t start with the same.

                If it’s so well known post the actual source data and not a blog run by a random good damned website. Your “well known fact” is made up and as accurate as a fox news debate.

                So again,

                “BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH I don’t have any real evidence to back my statement.” It’s amazing in the 5 years since I discovered that this is basically a made up stat not a single person here or on Reddit or X can point me in the direction for an available per reviewed data or methodology.

                Why don’t you quote me where I started with a weak emotional argument.
