Some common courtesy goes a long way.
If someone asks your opinion before they purchase, that's the time to throw out what you think of the choice, be it brand, size, or options.
But once they've shelled out their hard-earned money, the decision is made. It's the time to offer congratulations and compliments, or let it be. Negative opinions wont' change anything.
If your friend gets married, you don't tell him at the wedding reception that his new wife is a trashy gold-digger. You tell him before the wedding, or you keep your opinion to yourself. It's too late to fix it, so there's no point in raining on his parade. That's what my Grandpa used to tell me, anyway.
The OP chose a very fine, capable truck. It should be reliable, safe, and well suited to his purpose. It's not as if he's lugging around an oversized trailer with an undersized tow vehicle. So it's time for a thumbs-up and a bit of class.
You raise an interesting point here but it's one,I believe, applies in a "village" not in the world of social media. I don't know the OP, therefore I was not granted the opportunity of sharing my opinion with him before he bought it. Do you see my point? This forum is designed to share information, provide feedback and give opinions among people well most likely never meet so it's a bit different. The courtesy lesson needs to be learned by the two name callers who like to insult.
And to Chopper, yeah that space shuttle got me man. It only came out 12 years after I bought my truck!! Good attempt at trying to stir the pot though.
