My first video on pickup trucks left a lot unsaid, apparently. That video had the most comments (and the most dislikes) of any video I've made. So today, your intrepid host wades through every last comment, even the ones at the dreaded bottom of the algorithmically organized comment feed, and responds appropriately.

We'll touch on
- Corporate Average Fuel Economy
- Suspect data collection methodologies
- What "safety" means
- How pickup trucks impact land use and street design
- What a Ford Maverick is
- Whether or not 75% of the US population is rural and the mysterious resources that actually answer the question
- And several topics I hesitate to spell out in a video description

Enjoy!
