Has any of you gotten insulted for owning a Titan? I live in Western Pennsylvania near Pittsburgh. I’m in the market for a new truck and have been looking at Nissan, Toyota and the big 3 domestics. Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas have a lot of highly-educated, upper class, white collar people but the majority of the people in this area are blue-collar. Everyone who owns a full-size truck drives a Ford, Chevy or Dodge.
The sales guys that I spoke with at the local Nissan and Toyota dealers told me they have a very hard time selling Titan’s and Tundra’s because nobody wants them. People who buy trucks in this area buy domestic.
Last night I was out at a bar making small-talk with some people and I told them I going to buy either a Titan or a Tundra. I’m currently leaning toward purchasing a Titan. After I said that they started laughing and verbally bashing me. They made comments like the Titan is nothing but a Japanese car with a bed on the back, it’s a Tonka toy, it’s a matchbox truck etc. They said I’m a fool for even considering a Titan/Tundra. One person said I might as well put a tow hitch on my Accord and use that instead of buying a foreign truck. I knew that blue-collar areas prefer domestic trucks but I had no idea that people in Western Pennsylvania hated the Titan and Tundra so much. I’m now debating if I actually want to get one because I’ll probably get harassed everywhere I go with it.
It seems that most people that buy Titan’s are in the Southern or Western portions of the U.S. Do any of you live in a blue-collar area where people hate the Titan/Tundra?
