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!
