This is a common argument, but the vast majority of people at home do not carry gravel or sand on a weekly basis. What they need is a rental truck for those items. The cost of 100k is ludicrous. Comparing to a rental truck you would need to be carrying raw material like that on average 2x a week to even break even with the payments.
I think we can all agree its >1% but also a small number. That small number is plenty for them to keep making them. But alas, most of those folks did not buy them.
Lots of people need a truck, not a van. You can’t haul a couple cubic yards of top soil or gravel in a van. I see dozens of Lightnings in my area.
For that you use a $1500 trailer. The bizarre justifications for pickups are hilarious.

I’m talking about contractors, trades people and people who do this for a living.
So 1% of pickup buyers. OK.

Some people actually work for a living, they don’t spend the day replying to email.
