I figured it would be like trying to explain the Big Bang origin of the universe or quantum physics or something
Yeah, two of my co-workers (in IT) have Ford F150 pickups. 4x4 of course. I admit that my last car was a truck, but is was a smaller Nissan with a 4-cylinder engine and manual transmission.
One co-worker actually does some farm work, so I'll give him a pass. The other goes fishing occasionally and tows a boat. His wife has a Ford Explorer that is fully capable of towing a boat. Actually, his previous car, a Taurus, was capable of towing his small boat.
