What the fuck is the point of posting a link to an article no one can read ?
TF is a lifestyle pickup?
It's a more concise way of saying "wankers who buy a massive pickup they never use the bed of for anything other than a grocery bag to compensate for their small penis and try and pretend they're hard men"
It isn't for hauling or towing but as a prop for Instagram and TikTok influencers.
It’s for swingers! The back of the truck has little bits to lie on.
Small trucks are great, but "lifestyle pickups"? We have a word for that already, it's "ute".
Also I love how the default prop to put into a vehicle to show it's practical and cool is a surfboard. Surely there can't be that many surfers in the world.
Maybe these things are discussed in the article but it's paywalled so all I have to go off of is a title and thumbail.
