Fratty Countdowns: Fratty Vehicles #4
January 28, 2010 | 15 Comments | Countdowns, Featured
Chevrolet Silverado z71 Truck
We decided to go with the z71 in this spot, but to be honest the real selection here is the more general category of any full sized pickup truck, and F-150 could just as easily be pictured in this spot.
The full sized truck bears several advantages for its fratdaddy owner. First of all, be honest, ladies…you love the truck. You will find that many sorostitutes, especially those from south of the Mason-Dixon Line, have an almost innate attraction to a vehicle that has an actual component called “the bed.” Coincidence? We think not. Pull up to her sorority house beside the GDI in his Corolla who is there to pick up his Plan C Triple Legacy Had-to-Take-Her-Because-Nationals-Told-Us-To girlfriend, and the projection is clear. You are showing masculinity and confidence…he is showing a douchesque worry about fuel mileage.
This brings us to another point: fuel economy. As we mentioned with the Ford Bronco, these trucks drink gas like you drink Fratty Lite while pregaming on Thursday night. Be sure to rev your engine at redlights whenever you pull up next to a hybrid…someone has to make up for the gas he is saving.
What dropped the full sized truck down to #4 on the list? Unfortunately, this venerable vehicle has been hijacked…literally…by a number of trying too hard douchebags. By “hijacked”, I mean they jack the car high in the air, put on monster truck tires and, Frat Gods forbid, fill the back windshields up with stickers that they perceive to be fratty (if you’re wearing Costas, we see they’re Costas…take at least 6 of the 17 Costas stickers on your car off). If you actually take your truck off-road, a respectable off-road package is fine. If you break out in a cold sweat if you accidentally hit gravel, don’t make your truck look like this:
As we always say, though, when GDI’s try to usurp fratty territory, we don’t give an inch. Keep your truck smaller than Gravedigger, and consider taking your z71 and your sorostitute of choice on a “camping trip”…tent not required.
