the perception that truck size and masculinity are linked for a certain type of male. Reminds me of an ongoing fight a coworker had a few years ago. His father had a mechanic’s shop in rural Virginia. His number 1 employee just assumed he would inherit and all equipment upon his death. Surprise! He left it to his son, my coworker. Number 1 employee pretty much stole all of the equipment and my coworker had a long legal battle just to get part of it back. Number 1 employee fought the hardest ( as if someone wanted to cut his dick off ) for the company pick up truck, which was in the habit of using personally too.
