I'm reading on another forum that someone commutes 75 miles per day in a truck. I've never understood why people would go out of their way to drive something much less comfortable and responsive AND pay a premium to do so. They could easily buy an economical and comfortable commuter car and keep the truck and save money.

Not really surprising; our presidential election produced Hillary and Donald as the 2 candidates out of the millions of people in the US.
