It's for the same reason that the Nike logo is on every piece of Chinese made crap clothing and shoes you can find. It's just bling and it impresses the type of people who hock their food stamps to buy sneakers.

In nov 2020 a kid showed at hunting camp with a white Shelby Raptor that his dad had bought him for his birthday.

I think they do it to get Chads to post about it online.

The appearance or number of automobile badges is the least of my concerns.

My 70 year old brother in law, normally a sensible man, does like his acceleration, and maybe some senior, 'this is my last shot at fun'...bought a new Ford Raptor a few years back. Then the sale of his crusher and ready mix plant fell through and he had to go back to work...using the Raptor as an every day work truck. Sweet Jeebus what a train wreck. The sonofabitch just fell apart, rear diff cratered at 4,000 mi, body parts started falling off, the door latch and hinges were wore out, hardly anything on the dash worked, including AC and heat controls. Power windows gave up several times, Ford said "excessive dust". The tailgate collapsed with a barrel of hydraulic oil on it, only 420 pounds? Toy type trucks are not built for work..or at least Raptors aren't.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Sad thing was, it would have been a cool truck with the 700hp Coyote and the lift, if it had just not been kitted out with all the garish doo-dads, scoops, stripes, and tacked-on logos. Funny how the Shelby shown below didn't need all that junk to be noticed as something special.

In October of 16 I bought a new f-150 white with black bumpers XL model plainest one made. Had the important options to me, mechanical ones. It was the only f-150 on the lot with steel wheels. Ford sells alot of trucks to yuppy aszholes to drive as a car. That's kinda why real truck buyers look else where. They way things are....mb

My favorite are the Harley Davidson branded ones.

That way you can spot the douche bag when he isn’t riding his bike!

Maybe the people that pay that money want everyone to notice them.

People buy trucks like these because they can.

THIS.

I dunno, a plain-jane purposeful truck just does it for me.

If I could afford it, the taxes, the fuel bill, and the insurance I wouldn't give a crap what anyone thought about it. I know that much. I would still probably de-badge it a certain extent because I don't care for all the advertising and I prefer to make it mine in a way that others don't.

For the record I've only ever blown through one fence and it was a hot wire, AND once we got 'im we went back and put all the insulators back in place. No barbed wire streaks down my truck. So there;)

hot wires don't remove that pesky badging as well as the barbed kind do.
