Wonder what they were thinking with "High Country".
I mean, as far as truck names go, "Titan" is pretty cool IMO. A while back, Hummer just went full on Trump and called their high performance models "Alpha".

if you don't have AWD or 4WD, front wheel drive works in the snow

The wannabe King Ranch.
I mean, at least King Ranch is a real place.

For high-functioning retards like yourself? Sure, they might be a little too much to handle. Plus the glass they use for windows isn't as nice to lick so maybe that's another problem you'll have with one.

I think 'High Country' is more of a state of mind....like 'Hotel California'.
Typically something with an alpha-numeric name emphasizes the make. You don't say you have a pair of Levi XHY1001's. You say you have a pair of Levi's.
Ford's use of alpha-numeric names for their trucks leads to the most hilariously obvious sub-brands, like Raptor, Super Duty, Harley Davidson, or Powerstroke. They are the most amusing among the truck makers, and make no secret about the type of buyer they are going after.
Jeep is also amusing.

Well, to be fair, the numbering system can tell you the capacity of the truck.
150/1500 = Ford/GM 1/2 ton
250/2500 = Ford/GM 3/4 ton etc.
After the numeric you get the trim level so there's a method there, kinda.
I think all the trim levels got added b/c they figured they could sell a crapton more of 'em, so why not?

Right but Toyota, Dodge, Chevy, and GMC moved away from alphanumeric names over the past 20 years, emphasizing things like "Silverado" or "Tundra" over the respective makes. Before the branding strategy emphasized the make. You drove a Chevy or Toyota pickup.
Sometime in the past 10 years, people have been responding to brands called "Smart" this or that. SmartCar. SmartWater. Fun place to go to if we are talking about branding playing on buyer's insecurities.
Wonder who came up with Nissan Armada.
