Must be different in the south? Up here, we have a ton of pickups in rural Ontario and by and large, no issues. Really comes down to the drivers and while there are lots of young'uns with big trucks and small brains, those drivers are equally as plentiful in their Honda's and such. A crappy, rude driver is a crappy, rude driver no matter what he drives. There are lots of jerks out there driving Porsche's too.
To generalize that all pickup drivers are jerks is just wrong and not supported by any facts.

Try living in Midwest USA
It's diesels more than unleaded pickups. Some really seem to go out of the way to start trouble.

Google "rolling coal". Its a thing out here to purposely spew the black soot on nice cars, joggers, etc.

When the truck is lifted high enough to be above legal bumper heights, & wheel & tire size are doubled with no increase in stock braking capability. It is cause for concern when they start tailgating you. This happens alot here in "Surf City" & in the desert communitys. :chicken:
