How much of the US is classified as city? How much of the US is classified as rural? What is your point exactly?

83% of US population is urban. That includes suburban and ex-urban. Lots more land is rural, but land doesn’t buy trucks.
My point is that "Truck buyers cannot afford machines that get between them and earning their livelihood" is incorrect as stated because it implies that owning a truck is essential for earning their livelihood. Some truck buyers, sure, but not nearly all truck buyers. I'm guessing not even most truck buyers.
