Man, these comments are salty. People buy these trucks because they’re fun. Same reason others buy sports cars. They’re big, loud, fast, and bring joy. Cars aren’t just appliances for some of us.

Exactly! I’d buy it because it’s fun and looks cool as hell.

Yeah, but only fun until you crash it doing something dumb!

It’s like buying a Lambo Urus or a G-Wagon. It’s a flex and fun to drive. But being a truck, it’s easier to justify since you can use it for family trips.

True, it’s hard to fit the kids comfortably in a Corvette or Lambo, but a truck works.

Save your money and get a high-trim F-150 with massage seats. Better fuel economy, quieter, and more practical.

Wait, they have massage seats? How do I get those?!

F-150 Platinum and above trims offer them. They’re not deep tissue, but they’re great for long trips.

Sounds perfect after a long day of work. I’ll look into it!

They’re just cool. I’m not a truck guy, but if I got one, it’d be a Raptor.

Same here. Raptors have always been my favorite for some reason.

People buy things they like, even if they don’t need them. If you’re spending that much, it better make you happy.

Exactly! Imagine spending that kind of money and not loving it.
