[Shotimes] OT Trucks was Marauder

[Michael S Wojton]

I've been saying this for years now; the average person that buys a truck
nowadays doesn't use it for work.  It's become somewhat "hip" (pardon
my very modern and trendy vernacular) to own a truck now.  Because of
this, trucks have become very upscale.  Often plusher and full of more
options than a lot of cars.  They've also become VERY expensive.  The
guy who wants a truck to fill full of sh*t and beat the hell out of has to
spend an ungodly amount of money to do so.

I know there are various "work truck" versions of vehicles out there, but
I'd bet they're pretty pricey too; comparatively speaking.

Maybe I missed something but what is a work and gentrified truck producer?

Gentrify: The restoration and upgrading of deteriorated urban property by
middle-class or affluent people, often resulting in displacement of
lower-income people.

< I believe Kurt has predicted the future of the Ford brand. A work and
 gentrified truck producer. They'll keep cars in their showrooms that are
 designed or built for the world like the Focus. >

Does that mean only rich people will buy fords? I'm pretty sure they're
sticking to bently, mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc -Steve Bowen
