    These vehicles are primarily personal use in Canada. And I couldn’t care less about personal vehicle choice. However…. In my observations here I often see. 1. A single driver. 2. That they far too often follow stupidly close behind me. It feels like some weird dominance/intimidation game by them. And I don’t have the time or interest to play along. This is real here, others have mentioned similar observations to me.

      Same here in Australia, at least with the ford rangers, and toyota hilux’s. They became the most popular cars in Australia, even though the majority of Australians live in cities. The drivers love to tailgate. No doubt they are slowly being replaced with these even stupider, and larger utes. Chances are most of them will also be road coloured too.
