re: Why do people buy/drive trucks?

A vehicle that weighs more has a harsher ride 95% of the time. It also applies to handling too. Couple that with all the weight is in the front and the wieght is higher up than a car. And of course a 5.0L V8 with ~400 hp can leave a civic. The camaro has its trade offs like a truck does but in return I get a really fast car that is actually comfortable with magnetic ride control. The point is that no one who uses a truck uses it for its benefits ( towing, carrying something a car couldn't)

just the opposite on weight. a heavier vehicle rides smoother. don't believe me, go on a bumpy road in your civic. then put 2 sacks on concrete in your truck and do it again. Guarantee it's smoother with the extra weight.

i've driven many camaros. will take my trucks ride comfort and handling over it any day. I also get better fuel mileage than Camaros.

and i have a big enough back seat to carry half a baseball team with me.

and if your camaro and my truck slam into each other, i'm getting the better end of the deal.

also your camaro will cost more than my truck. it can't pull my boat either.

so that Camaro is even more impractical of a vehicle than the ones you're mocking.
