The Manly Stereotypes of Owning a Ford Truck
For the sake of laughter, here are six funny stereotypes people think go with owning a Ford truck.
1. Meat Eaters
Ford trucks are famously built tough. That's why there are often stereotypes attached to owning an F-Series that speak to those rugged characteristics. One example is the stereotype that Ford truck drivers are meat eaters. This stems from the idea that one can take their vehicle hunting and go home with a truck bed full of game.
2. Gas, What Gas?
If you own a Ford truck, then people have probably asked you why you chose such a gas guzzler. There are two things about owning a Ford truck: 1. Ford trucks are much better on gas than most people think, and 2. We drive trucks because we need to tow and haul, and carry the whole family, so the fuel economy is way down the priority list.
3. Towing Capacity? Challenge Accepted
Every Ford truck owner loves a good challenge because these trucks are extremely capable. Once a Ford truck owner is asked if their truck can tow something, the answer is always yes. Hitch that boat, travel trailer, backhoe, giant redwood, whatever, up to the hitch, and lets see what this bad boy can do!
4. Go Over Anything
The original Bigfoot monster truck was a Ford, and even before that, they had a reputation for being unstoppable. If they can't go over something, they'll just crash right through it.
5. Tug of War
Ford truck owners don't always play tug of war with other trucks, but when they do they usually win. Ford truck owners don't like to abuse their trucks, however, if the tug of war is against a Chevy or a Dodge, make some room and take some shelter, it's about to go down.
5. Tailgating is Life
Ford truck owners enjoy the simple things in life, like tailgating. In fact, most of them would rather have a cold beer and grilled meat in the back of their trucks than an evening at a fancy restaurant or a bar. If you've never spent a full day on the back of your truck out in the middle of nowhere, put it on your to-do list immediately. It is better than can even be described.
