The real crazy part here is that the s-10 was discontinued in North America in 2004 and still makes this list? Does that tell us that s-10 drivers are wild or that this data is 20 years old?
That was my thought too. Wonder what the timeframe was because if it’s data collected over multiple years you’d expect to see an overrepresentation of vehicles that were sold through that whole period while models that get discontinued, or launched in that timeframe would be underreported. Also maybe some demographics, like was the high number of S-10 while it was available new and presumably driven by people that recently purchased those new vehicles, or is it 10+ years after it stopped being sold when it’s the old farm shitbox or a young guys first truck.

S10 and Ranger were fairly popular with young rednecks.
And are often a smaller, cheaper truck to start with
Ya I was wondering about that too.
