I have one of those big trucks that I think Koushirou Koushirou was complaining about, a chevy 1500. I dropped it off yesterday to have it's oil changed. No biggie, I keep it in good shape as I cannot stand an undependable auto. I get a call last night @ 6PM about 'recommended services' for $1,500! I told the guy no thanks please just change the oil, it's all the owners manual calls for ( I looked before I dropped it off) This morning I get a phone call/a voicemail/ and a text to let me know the 'recommended' work has to be done. This is why I stopped going to the dealership.

I had the wife drop me off and I picked up my truck and brought it home. They realized I was so fucking mad they didn't even charge me for the oil change.

Now before you guys dog pile me, I bet between 2022 and now I have not put more that 5K miles on the truck total. I don't tow, I don't go '4 wheeling'. I rarely drive.

So, all the work was done anyway, but for free because they weren’t supposed to?

Hey, I don't have problems with the big trucks themselves, just don't block everyone else's line of sight with the damn thing in the parking lots.

That's why I back into spots. The bed of the truck is kinda low and might not effectively block the view of the vehicle next to me. I also always try to park next to small cars to make my truck look bigger.

(Speaking to one one in this thread in particular, but to big truck drivers in general). Driving a big truck around when you don't actually need one is like playing loud rap music in public. In that situation you know you're pissing everyone off, and if we're being honest, thats a big part of why you do it. Its a gorilla-brain dominance play.

Of course when its costing you $4 trillion to fill up the tank my reaction is mostly "well, bless your heart".

It’s an ego/insecurity thing. They have low self esteem and think a monster truck makes people impressed. Exact same mentality as Harley owners.

YouTube for a few weeks now will hang with channel icon when trying to play ads while I'm landscape. If I flip vertical and back and will play ad as normal. Updated app restarted phone etc.

Also for months once in a while you will not a notification video and it plays something else random.

Well not me, drove work pickups for years and like trucks. Not a monster truck, just a truck. Needed 4WD for the pass into Vegas in the winter. But hey you do you.

Trucks are fine. I’m talking the 40 inch lift, tires, lights, etc. napoleon complex stuff.

nah nothing like that. I have a buddy in Vegas that posted a pic of having to spend $220 to fill up his work truck with diesel. He's got one of those jacked up things. Not for me. Too easy to flip.
