Do You Regret: Short-Body vs Long-Body

[swathdiver]

Most men don't drive trucks to feel like men. They drive trucks because they are men!

I get that all the time! It doesn't phase me. Plus it's fun to out horse and outdrive some of my friends with mid size trucks. And even the friends with sierras and silvys. It's quite fun! Lol. They make fun of me yet they all want me to drive when it comes time for a road trip haha

Why are most of these trucks driven by women?

 

[swathdiver]

Not where I live.

Your masculinity levels are dictated by what people in your town drive?

Huh.

Lots of women drive the long-bodies around here in Nova Scotia and then usually older men. Having said that, I see a good amount of women driving 4Runners too. I guess this day and age gender based preferences is subjective anyway haha.

I guess I'm the only one who finds it kind of hot when I see a woman driving a Denali down the road. I also like women driving jacked up trucks, JEEP'S, heck even a girl driving a Mustang Vert is pretty hot. Would I drive/own any of the 3 (well my wife drives a JKU)...yep.

One thing I've never said, "See that hot mom in the minivan?"

Its interesting, where i live in the Washington DC area anecdotally Suburbans are driven mostly by mom's. However, Yukon XLs and especially the Denali trim is almost always driven by a man.

In my opinion they are both masculine looking vehicles, however, mom's (or their husbands who secretly want their wife to have a Suburban so they themselves can drive one on the weekends) tend to just go for the utility of the vehicle and get the Suburban LT. Where as men who buy the trucks for themselves as their OWN daily driver want all the bells and whistles and therefore go for the Yukon XL Denali. Its just my observation of my location.

No, those are you assertions and it's nonsensical.

You asserted that most of these trucks are driven by women and I informed you that that is not the case where I live. Then you counter with that ^ thought. Don't project your thoughts onto me.

I figure who cares what you drive. Unless they are paying your mortgage then f em.

There are some great cars out there with “hairdresser” reputations.... and people at the track get walked on by them all the time.

Drive what you like, mod it the way that makes you smile.

If it’s not yours or you think it’s not manly enough or you think it is a certain type of persons car, then take a vote about yourself and look in the mirror To see the sad results.
Except prius’s. We can all agree they and the people who drive them suck and have no place on earth let alone the roads.

 

[cardude2000]

I informed you that that is not the case where I live.

Buying a car to make you feel more secure in your manhood is what matters. Regardless of how many soccer moms drive them.

We’re in agreement.

I live in the DC area aswell I see more men driving the Denali's and Escalade while the women do drive the Tahoes and Suburban XL's.

I’ve lived in the dc area for a while and met more women who climbed denali than men.

I live in NOVA and did not take a survey. But, I did buy Suburban as a utility vehicle. The LS is plenty functional and comfortable.

We have the Yukon XL and bench in the middle which we like. It’s been great having the capacity for 8 when hauling our 3 kids plus either their friends or grandparents around. And if that’s not enough space we can always use the hitch for a cargo rack.

We took the Suburban up Norther Arizona last month and couldn't believe how much stuff we could carry with the addition of the XXL Thule Force Cargo Roof Box!

How many people were you taking? And did you have second row captain seats?

we were 7: 2 adults in front, 2 teenagers and baby in middle row BENCH, and 2 young kids in booster in third row seating.
That left on 1 seat empty, middle seat in 3rd row, which was used for the toys and drawing books for the little ones.
"Trunk" area had food, clothing, and the baby push bike, cargo box had a huge 16 persons tents, a baby pack and play, bunch of pillows, 2 ikea rolled up mattress, 2 cots with their pads, and sleeping bags.

I never regret getting the ESV. I always have the trunk full of kids stuff.

Wow, that's awesome! You put your Suburban to great use. Do you think you could have done the same trip with captains seats in the second row and just have three across in the somewhat smaller third row?

I figure too, if I am driving a full sized SUV I'm getting the biggest and hauls most version available.
Or we're going in a Vette.
