Look, I understand that 4x4 trucks can be fun but I would never define my national pride on something like that. That's just stupid.

It's just a fringe benefit of living in the US that full sized 4x4 trucks are ubiquitous and affordable. No other country besides Canada can say the same AFAIK.
And it's not that 4x4 trucks are fun, it's that they can conquer any task you throw at them in a way that's empowering , that is what makes them great.

Your choice of vehicle speaks volumes of who you are, a narcissist living in an ivory tower who is completely unable to handle any hardship. Mine is a vehicle that can handle any hardship. You do the math.
