More than 1 in 4 car shoppers in Texas and Wyoming have committed to paying more than $1,000 a month, and experts say it is due to the high volume of large truck purchases in those states, according to a report by auto site Edmunds.

More than 1 in 5 shoppers in seven other states — Colorado, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota and Utah — are also forking over more than $1,000 for their vehicles each month.

Weird headline. Isn't this basically just stating that (1) new cars are getting more expensive, and (2) trucks continue to make up a substantial share of new car purchases in the US (both of which were obvious)?

Yes but let's not waste a good opportunity to speak want how nobody needs a truck, they all have small dicks, and all are shitty drivers because the American South bus them the most.
