I have seen F-650s that have never towed a thing and never been on anything other than asphalt, cement, and gravel.
I have seen parking lots with a high percentage of trucks, and half have no dents, no scratches, and look regularly waxed.
Maybe it is your area? But you do not sell that many vehicles just for work. You have to hit both the fleet and the lifestyle.
No region in America has escaped the ridiculous phenomenon of trucks as man-jewelry, and a particularly attractive single young woman from a rural area who had dated a long string of truck owners by age 30 confirmed to me one drunken night that the old rule of thumb is absolutely true. The smaller the guys equipment, the bigger/higher the truck.

A nurse friend who spent a year working in the infirmary at Yellowstone also mentioned this a couple of times. Must be a social movement.

Used to manage the fine paper warehouse at the UofM. When one of the copy centers needed a quick carton or two of paper, someone would toss them in their back seat or trunk and rush them over. NONE of the pickup truck drivers would ever take them, as the cardboard carton "might scratch their truck bed". Amusingly, often at lunch breaks they'd get into long conversations about who had the toughest truck. Thankfully I can't attest to the size of anything.

It sounds like you are agreeing with me. Most pickups in America these days see mostly commuter/family/grocery duty. I was simply saying not all of us truck owners are like that.

This is exactly what I wanted to see, this shows me that Tesla will support accessories needed in the trades where tool racks and ladder racks are often necessity.
