180. So I see there are some valid reasons why people need large vehicles such as trucks or SUVs...

for every day, non work related use. The people who legitimately need those large vehicles could:

- Live in a rural area with dirt roads, snow, water to cross, etc.
- Have a family larger than 4 people
- Have a horse

The problem is over 80% of Americans live in cities and suburbs, the average family has only 2.5 kids, and there are only 2 million horse owners in the U.S. So why are trucks the best selling vehicles in America?
