> Lift kits, custom rims, tints, etc. I just cannot imagine how people are affording these things.

Much of this crap is what also makes them completely unsuitable if not outright useless for genuine truck utility purposes, which reveals that the motivation of those buying these trucks was never to do anything practical with them in the first place, but just to project large menacing presence to other people who have to share the road with rhem.

None of that listed makes them somehow "useless" and many are useful upgrades
In this case, he’s correct. These are often excessive lift kits paired with low profile tires. You lose a good portion of your towing capacity, while basically killing all of your offloading ability.

These aren’t people improving capabilities. They’re only going for a look.
