Thing is, this could be said about just about any vehicle including the Twins. Some people have trucks because they want trucks. It doesn't matter about the use case. That's their choice and their right.
I live in the border between suburban Atlanta and rural Georgia/Alabama. The hospital I worked at I would say 50% of the persons there (janitors, nurses, doctors) drove trucks. A large percentage of them used them for purposes on weekends that are "truck missions" but also commuted with them because they didn't need or want to own a vehicle for every occasion.
A good example, one of my managers was a HUGE hunter and fisherman. He was either out in the woods or out on the lake every weekend. (This is the kind of guy that hunts wild boar with a knife). His white Silverado was in pristine condition, looked like it just rolled off the showroom floor even though every weekend it was hauling something, offroading somewhere or backing into a lake somewhere. It never showed up in the parking lot dirty.
So ultimately you just don't know.
