* LivingIsMoreThanSurviving: According to Matthew McConaughey, this is part of the setting, with humanity being alive but having grown so cynical and focused on merely surviving the CrapsackWorld that nobody other than the film's protagonists is truly trying to find ways to make things better.

I just felt that the \"ordinary looking pickup truck\" description wasn\'t descriptive enough for the trope.

Added DiffLines:

**To elaborate, the pickup is a current generation Dodge Ram, but it's noticeably rusty and beaten up, indicating that the movie is set at least a couple years ahead of our time.
