A picture of a hand holding remote car keys pointed at a white pickup truck. Below that is the text:
In the US, 75% of truck owners tow only once a year or less. Nearly 70% of them go off-road once a year or less. Additionally, 35% of truck owners haul something in their truck beds once a year or less
Find Sources @ unbelievablefactsblog.com
While this sounds very believable, an actual source would be nice. I can't find any such image on the website to view the sources they may or may not provide
Edit: the source doesn't appear to include all of the statistics in the image, but the article lists it's source is https://www.strategicvision.com/nves, which looks to be paywalled behind a subscription. It's possible the data is from the survey data linked, but I can't verify it
I Google-searched "site:unbelievablefactsblog.com truck", which turned up the right page. It linked to this site, which in turn links to this very detailed page.

Thank you! Though I will say, not all of the statistics in the image are in the article. The article lists https://www.strategicvision.com/nves as their source for the survey data, but it looks like you have to subscribe to for access to their survey data, which I imagine is very expensive since it's likely for automotive companies.
The source is this survey/article by axios: https://www.axios.com/ford-pickup-trucks-history
Thank you!
