Those who don't understand will not be required to own one.
Apparently that's not good enough for some people. They're going to tell you how to live your life and why you don't need one. Expect many 'small penis', compensating, or financially illiterate comments.
I just rent a pick up when I need one. Cheaper than paying the mileage penalty year round. Commuting with one seems rather expensive.
I do the same. Much cheaper than paying the increased gas cost and comfort penalty of driving one. Most guys that have big, lifted trucks in the suburbs only drive them as a status symbol. Very few I know actually go off-roading or use it for it's intended purpose of hauling stuff. Now if you do actually use your truck for work, good on you and none of the this applies.

This. People drive what they like and what gets the job done for them. If everyone liked the same car, there would be only one type of car available. For some, a Civic gets the job done. For others, their lifestyle requires a truck. Are either of them wrong? No. Different, yes?
At the end of the day it shouldn't matter what someone chooses or for what reasons. I'll continue to drive my truck (apparently with a small appendage or some sort of appendage envy) and they can continue to drive their car. My point in responding to a lot of the posts was to clear up mis-information. Folks who don't know still want to spout off specs from mid-air.
Lifted trucks rolling coal and driving like jackasses is just the current trend that's annoying a lot of people. Just like the fart can exhaust civics of the 90s.
I do find it amusing when pickup truck owners don't want to use their vehicles other than city driving. They don't want to scratch up their vehicles by moving heavy/large items or go off roading.
Again this is not to all pickup truck owners, just the ones who refuse to use it for what's it actually built for.

So you assume that ALL lifted truck owners "roll coal" and drive like jerks?
Do you know that the emissions delete kits that are designed for these diesel engines that allow them to "roll coal" also boost their MPG from 11-13 mpg to 18-22 mpg? Do I have the ability to do it? If I turned the tune up, probably.... do I? Nope. It's as annoying to me as it is to you. Just like it's annoying for a motorcycle or a Civic hatchback (or Corvette, or insert your car of choice) to cut me off because they assume that their driving skills are among the best in the world. The stereotype you just attempted to make is far from the norm.

I agree with this, but hey... to each his own. Even if I didn't have a need for a truck I'd still drive one. I'm much more comfortable in a truck than a small car or SUV.
For whom? You, or the general public? Is there a poll online somewhere that shows people are having problems with too many diesel drivers rolling coal on them? It almost sounds like you have a personal beef with one kid who rolled coal on you, so you are now trying to blame all diesel truck drivers for it.
It doesn't cause me any harm. I can't recall seeing more than 1 or 2 of those clowns since that became popular and I live in a city and state where diesel trucks are extremely common.
