Honest question, I have never owned a diesel pickup and I’m genuinely curious about this.
I see this all the time at truckstops, gas stations, and elsewhere. Some guy pulls up in his diesel pickup and idles his truck while he goes inside, and there is nobody else inside his truck.
I understand why semis idle (AC, power), however it has never made sense to me why these pickup 4-wheelers idle. You never see this same behavior with gas vehicles or gas pickups.
Just ranting here because someone pulled up next to me in a very noisy diesel pickup (no trailer either) He left his truck idling for over an hour while he wasn’t inside. Fair weather 60 degrees, it’s not cold. I’m thinking to myself why do I have to listen to this crap? What purpose is this serving?
