I can’t imagine buying diesel for a pickup and burning $6 7 every 20 miles. It’s over $2 a liter in Canada.
The last time I bought gas was in the US when e85 was like $1.80/gal, and I was making about the same horsepower as a pickup, just in a sports compact. Same mpg rating too.
Car people, could I have towed a trailer in an Audi s3?
Yes although not as heavy a trailer as a big truck can handle. Torque is also important and trucks are geared (and many other design considerations) to haul heavier loads.
But owning a pickup truck is almost never about hauling, it’s about a certain kind of social status and group symbolization. That’s why you’ll see $100,000 class trucks (often modified) in run down trailer parks, or suburbia where everyone commutes to an office. Burning more gas (and vile things lile “rolling coal”) are also status symbols in this space.
I watched a BMW 2 series convertible towing a caravan much bigger than it was.
Americans are such pissbabies with towing, grow some balls and go slower. I’m about 80% certain that the reason they all think they need a big trugg is because automatic gearboxes in passenger cars can’t tow for shit.
