More old trucks than old cars still on the road?

Now especially here in the south people drive trucks daily as a regular commuter vehicle. It’s so stupid. I bet half of these trucks I see has never been used to tow anything or haul something that needs a truck.
Not many other vehicles out there with 6 seats and I’m not daily driving a minivan out of my sheer spite for fail wheel drive… I mean front wheel drive.
 
Plus it’s more appealing to use a cheap beater truck for work than something nice. Gets dented and scratched up.
exactly. picking up a date in a beater car is no fun. taking a load of junk to the dump in beater truck is one of life's finest pleasures.

you can keep an old truck on the road as a secondary vehicle for next to nothing in liability insurance, use it occasionally to haul stuff or if your nicer daily driver is in the shop. it's not worth it for most to keep a beater economy car in the driveway.
