I think you guys are off the mark.
Most 1500 series trucks are not used for heavy hauling or towing. Most of them are used to haul people and the odd thing in the bed. Research says only 5% of them ever go off road.
Remember, this is an RV forum, and most of you think of things from this perspective, but most people do not buy a 1500 series truck for towing or hauling.
That's what 2500 and 3500 series trucks are for.
One thing I noticed is how different the uses for a Pickup, varied from Australia and the U.S. . The 1/2 tons are used mainly as SUV's. and going off road is a pretty foreign concept for many Very, very different to here.Yes the Global versions are used as "cars", but they haul boats, caravans, carry tools, electrical, concreting etc Off Road use is very much greater Roughly my estimate 30-40% go Off Road
