  few people actually tow anything particularly heavy?

  Therefore nobody needs a truck?

    If that’s what I thought, I would have said “no people” instead of “few people”

    There are a ton of pickup trucks on the road. The Ford F-Series has been the best selling car in the US for decades. Since the context is about that and towing, do you really think the number of pickups on the road is proportional to people who really need that kind of towing capacity as they drive around suburbia?
