Frankly if a lot of them were on here you'd throw up your arms in disgust and rage quit the forum. We'd have nothing but arguments about 2WD vs 4WD, gas vs diesel, popup vs hardside, Chevy vs. Ford vs. Dodge, the Toyota Tundra, how awful *insert TC brand name here* is, any TCs in 1/2 tons, heavy TCs in SRW trucks, weight police...
I'm ready to rage quit the forum just thinking about it.
Pretty much what everyone else has said, is the reason more people aren't on here. It's not widely advertised. I only stumbled across this site in a google search. The forum thing is not for most people...
You're saying that people don't want to come on the forum because they don't want their ignorance and stupidity questioned by others?
Granted, there exists a range of acceptable answers to all of the arguments you've said exist, but surely you can't believe there is no merit to discussing 2wd vs. 4wd (depends on terrain), gas vs. diesel (depends on a ton of factors), popup vs. hardside (depends on a bunch of factors, including truck, payload, off road vs. not, garage kept or not, etc.), brands of truck (depends on which features you think are important, I6 vs. V8, gas vs. diesel, auto vs. manual tranny, capacity, subjective concerns, warranty, and a whole bunch of other factors), brands of campers (again, weight, warranty, features, applicability for the job), 1/2 tons (depends on a bunch of other facts), SRW trucks (even if some overloading is acceptable, surely you must think some limit exists). Really, seriously, let that sink in before you answer.
The whole point of having a forum is to have (at times, heated) discussions about difficult questions. If every question had only one answer, we wouldn't need a forum--a computer program could answer the questions.
