You never know. Maybe he needs if he works in the near by forrest. While I agree on the first part about not taking it seriously, I never want to assume people are pieces of shit without talking to them first.
If your juiced up Dodge RAM or this Ford monstrosity is all shiny, no speck of dirt in sight, then it’s not a work vehicle and the original assumption probably applies.
What if they washed it? Obviously most of the time you will be right, but from the perspective of a truck owner, that means they have to keep their truck dirty or people will assume they’re an asshole. You could avoid the problem altogether by not assuming that at all.
Washing won’t hide signs of heavy work. Even fresh out from wash work van that has never been used in serious off-road conditions has signs of heavy use after a year of service. Shit happens when you use stuff for work, there will be scratches, small dents and other signs of use—especially on bumpers, truckbeds and rims.
None of the people I know that use their vehicles for work have their cars in pristine visual condition, unless they’ve just bought it new. Most work vehicles show their scars loud, even if taken good care of mechanically. And most company-owned vans and crew vehicles are rickety old things that are run to the ground, then retired to junkyards.
Not every truck has been in use for a year. I know most of the time you can tell the difference, but it seems like a bad idea to make assumptions based off of something like that. If you’re a truck owner are you just supposed to live with people thinking you’re an asshole if you recently got a new truck. I would rather take the extra few seconds to ask than put them in that position.
My assumptions shouldn’t matter to the owner. If you deep clean your work horse every night I’ll have my own opinions on that, but what does the owner mind what I think, it’s not like I’m gonna key their car.
While not the best camera angle, those tires look spotless. 19% of GMC light truck/crossover owners actually use their cars in an offroad capacity, and the same effect probably applies to full pickups. I am doubtful that the above pickup is being used in anything off road.
I can’t take cars like this seriously, I just assume whoever drives them is a total piece of shit

Ah, I was operating on the assumption that you didnt want to be a dick for no reason. My bad.
Oh the thought police is here, best think my best thoughts.
