How many rural areas have you been to? I see small houses with a half-dozen pickups sitting around all the time when I get more than 100 miles or so out of a major city. And places like ranches, farms, and orchards seem to operate small fleets of them.

Of course, they usually span the past few decades of makes/models, but there are plenty of towns where the trucks outnumber the people.

I think one big issue will be that a lot of people are like 50 miles from the nearest major highway or town, which makes the range a bigger issue for daily use.

Its a population question. just more buyers in the city.

  • There are more people in the city, but are you sure there more truck purchases? I'm not, but all I'm saying is that I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't.

    • way more. Every rural person could buy 5 trucks a year and there'd still be 10x as many purchases in the city. and rural people dont buy 5 trucks a year. The population differences are staggering and trucks are popular.
