We're constantly being bombarded with vehicle commercials and there's some social trends that pressure ya into buying a new car every tear or so. It's not surprising that some will buy an overpriced truck to appear more masculine. It's not so different from the iphone craze.

So how do you plan on using your truck sir?

Well, I'm mostly going to drive it 20 minutes down the highway to school/work and back, then park it in my driveway.

Oh, and your only looking at the regular F150 model?

Umm, ya. Why?

Well to be honest, I've sold 5 of these to woman this week, and they really seem to love them. You sure you just want the F150?

Umm, uhh, I think so?

Tell ya what sir. Let me go get the keys to that Raptor edition over there, and we can talk some more about what your needs really are. Sound good?

lol Yep. F150's and Silverados are everywhere.
