Well, that guy is clearly a massive prick, but let's also talk about how fucking ugly that truck is. I don't know when everyone decided that land yacht pickup trucks were the bees knees, but they're not. They're just dumb and so. goddamn. ugly.

    There is a lot of anger, frustration, and unacknowledged insecurity going into vehicle purchases in the US.

    Just check the bed. If there’s a liner, chances are the truck is needed. If it’s clean, it’s a vanity truck.

    I own a 350 and am very aware of just how big this truck is. But I do need the pulling power for work related things. I’ve also used it to help people that have broken down.

    I haven't seen a new truck without a bed liner in decades. I apparently thought they were standard equipment.

    If you need one, you need one, but I'm confident that a tiny percentage of these things are used for actual work. Also: still ugly. Sorry.

    Plenty of 'em out there homie. I bought a used DMax in 2019 and despite being a Denali edition it didn't come with a bedliner, just a rubber mat for the floor. I should have had one sprayed in when I got the truck because my box is now beat to shit.

    I think all the previous owner did with it was tow a horse trailer.

    My DMax is a pretty truck but the beat to crap box, without bedliner, is under a tonneau cover so you can't see it. Another thing you can do is check the receiver hitch, if it's scratched / rusty inside then you know its being used to tow something. 🙂
