Mine is 4% on all recurring bills, 2% on gas and 1% on everything else. I too use it for everything. I'll usually get $1500-$2000 in cash back every November
Mine is 1.5 (thought it was 2) on everything up to 25k then 1% after that, 3 cents per litre at Petro, extra rental insurance and lounge access for travel. sometimes you can get intro offers on cash back cards for 4-5% for like 3 months if you spend xxxx
I have 2 cards through them, but yeah my work fuel card is petro and my wife is an authorized user on a card so she goes there too. I use the points for road trip snacks and atv gas lol I filled my truck up Monday and I’ll fill it up again today before heading back to the city. I drive a shitload, so they add up quick
With something like 80% of truck owners only using their truck for towing/hauling once a year, there should be something done to discourage people from buying trucks imo. They are the most sold vehicle and they are the worst possible choice if you consider their environmental footprint, wear and tear on our road infrastructure, overcrowding already crowded roads/parking lots and last I checked most trucks aren't known for their reliability and longevity.
I'm having trouble following your reasoning regarding reliability. Can you reference some articles? I'm googling, but the trend I'm seeing is trucks are the more reliable choice, not that reliability should be the only deciding factor.
I’m really struggling to understand your logic when you have a second car that you use solely for leisure.
Just going on the experience of people I know with trucks. Know multiple people who've had massive expensive failures with their trucks... I think Scott had a doozy at some point?
80% only use them for towing or hauling once a year??? Where in the fuck did you read this? Oh wait. I guess I'm part of the fringe minority of truck owners now too that only utilize their truck once a year. Dude you may as well just go crawl into a cave cause now you're proving to be a senile old bastard that hates the world. I use my truck multiple times a month as a truck. They aren't just for towing or hauling trailers. I have ATVs. My kids stuff. I go and cut firewood... Grab stuff from Costco and don't have to have it delivered... By another truck. Help friends or family move. Or help them grab stuff. Hunting trips. Camping trips. They are very handy and versatile. I'll never NOT own a truck. And yeah, coming from the guy with a girly sports car? Only using it once or twice a year? Wow.
It's my 'daily driver' in the summer. It actually gets better gas mileage than the Element that it replaces.

And he sits to piss.. …In urinals Yea I remember it yes I’m bringing it up again yes I will bring it up again no I will never forget it.
I don't wear white Oakley's, or drive a lifted truck. I was referencing fast and furious. Had nothing to do with race. But glad you took that route.
We sold our trailer and I don't hunt that much any more but I still have a truck. It doesn't get used a lot, 2008 Ram 150,000 ish km on it but I do use it for hailing garbage to the dump, getting propane, getting building supplies. It also gets used when I need to go up north in the winter because roads and weather can be unpredictable.
Not being impeded by winter conditions. Plus if you do by chance drive/slide off the road in snow, unlike a car you can hit 4*4 and likely drive right back up onto the road vs being stuck and needing a tow in 7 inches of snow! I have a lumberyard nearby that I can go and spend $40 and fill the bed of my truck with what they call cut offs. Great for in the fire pit or using as kindling in the woodstove. I also bundle it up and take it for camping and hunting. I put the new pellet grill I recently purchased in the bed of the truck at Canadian tire. Rather than call someone with a truck to pick it up or pay for a delivery service. That wouldn't fit in suv or trunk. Guess I'm just an overachiever.
You just assume that anyone in a truck is a hillbilly dumb fuck and just has it because they want to plow over traffic on the way to wall-mart when the small condoms are on sale.
I know there are a few exceptions to the truck rule but for the most part you're pretty close lol Also the #trucktax thing is apparently something the Alberta conservatives made up (Kenny tweets)? Government said they have no intentions of any truck tax or green levies on trucks. The only green tax on trucks/SUVs is the existing one put in place by the Stephen Harper government back before conservatives went off the deep end.
Thankful for the tree huggers, they offset my truck that gets 21L/100km when I tow my race car that gets like 35L/100 lol.
I had 800lbs of dirt in my this morning and it will haul my atv tomorrow I also beat the absolute Jesus out of it to the tune of almost 50,000km a year and it’s rock solid gas mileage on 33s is abysmal at best
There are definitely plenty of folks that use their trucks as they are intended to be used. Just that they are a small portion of people who buy trucks.
