Hot take: It’s no stupider than any other pickup truck, and at least it stands out. Don’t get me wrong, it’s fugly as hell, but that’s still better than being indistinguishable from every other vehicle in its class.
Social status. The main reason for wanting to stand out (other than your own ego) is because having a higher social status will offer the individual more opportunities in these social games we play.

Plus at least it’s not spewing exhaust everywhere.

Mainly because it’s shaped like a snow plow and won’t care if anything soft is in its way.

Perception matters more than the truth for most
I agree, won’t stop me from making fun of it though!
I would have to disagree. A new Tacoma is about $60,000 less stupid than this.
