> Eh, that's a pretty big vehicle. Does that still actually count as a _car_?
The 2 best selling vehicle models in the USA are the Ford F-series and Chevy equivalent (Silverado), according to some sources[1][2]. I agree they're absurd for what are effectively overpowered wheelchairs that make you fat and reduce your IQ[3], but it is what it is.
You should try getting out of NYC and understand how the rest of the country actually works. Try visiting Nebraska or Ohio and learn where your food comes from. Ask one of the multi generational farmers who drive a truck and ask about their IQ.

90% of the people who salivate over these giant death machines aren't using them for hauling goods or farm work. Where I grew up, people get very excited about owning pickup trucks because they view them as status symbols (bigger is better mentality). Thankfully I escaped that terrible culture, but NYC still has too many unnecessary cars.

Sorry for being blunt, but where you grew up brainwashed you. Or you are young and very naive or like to speak in hyperbole.
The most sold vehicle in the US is being used for work purposes and has been since the truck was invented. There are many people that drive trucks outside of work, but you are very misinformed.
I lived in NYC for 20+ years without a car. On a hot summer night walking close to Holland tunnel brought rage to me as well. Hopefully the much needed congestion pricing will help.
