The F150 Raptor is more of a Baja race truck than a work vehicle. I'm excited to see the rumored Raptor Bronco, but not excited enough to sell old faithful.
I understand the author's point. Americans older than 30 probably still feel a cultural connection with their vehicle, or that it is an extension of their personality. Mid 20's down, its an appliance, expense and responsibility they'd rather not deal with. My 17 Y.O niece and her friends don't want to drive. Would rather Uber. End of the Brodozer era?
