I know trucks aren't that fast.....or at least the typical truck isn't. So are the type of person who likes trucks or are you one of those people who don't understand why they exist.

If you like trucks which one do you like best?

If you don't, why not?

I like trucks, but only to a certain point.

Sometimes, I wonder why people need to have the biggest/longest truck ans use it as a casual means of transportation.

Sorry, not hating on the people that drive trucks.

I understand that point of view. They ride harder then cars, they're top heavy so they'll roll easier then a car and they suck gas like there's no tomorrow.

I do prefer my sport cars, but truck can be VERY handy. Seriously i could barely fit a new 19" tube tv (this is like 3 or 4 years ago) in the back of my sunfire. And let me see you fit a mattress in a car. And then there's the whole bigness factor. Don't know where you're from but out here the bigger the better. rofl
Right now trucks sell better then any car on the market...so much for a recession. rolleyes

I like tough mudding/workhorse trucks (as well as old jeeps and broncos- "weapons carriers" basically)- lifted, GIANT tires, slathered in mud, no doors, etc. I actually learned to drive in a truck and I miss the V8. sad (But, someday I'll have me a 1969 Ford Mustang with a 351 big block heart )

I absolutely hate show trucks, the kind with the little spoiler on the end of the bed. It looks so incredibly stupid.

I do like how trucks can be used for heavy duties.

One of my pet peeves about trucks are when you have crew cab/extended bed in a parking lot, and it can barely fit, much less let other cars pass through.

I fully agree, I used to live in a big city for some years and I never could understand why someone would choose to drive a truck for casual, everyday driving when you can barely even fit a smart car in the parking spaces there.

Don't like show trucks. And I live in a small city......about 30,000 people and the surrounding area is farms....so there's trucks everywhere's. Most of them are sensible working trucks. Its just what i'm used too.....but then in i drive my little sunfire like it 4x4. Fly down our grid road even though its wet mud kicking up every where's the tail of my car swayin' everywhere's. rofl

That's understandable. You use the trucks for their intended purpose.

Trucks are also good for winter driving. Or at least in deep snow. I live on an acerage and we don't have a snow blower.....really stupid considering. And we're lazy with shovelling snow. When we come on our drive way we gotta take a run at it so we don't get stuck coming on rofl got hung up a couple of times.....a truck SSOO would've been nice to have!!

Um, yah. It can be...if you've got the right tires and on a course......not so much when you're just losing control. I got good reflexes but when you hit black ice wrong (Ice you can't see) then you spinning out and all you can do is hope no one hits you or you don't go into one coming traffic....I suppose that's ice not snow, but all the same in the end.

Snow blows....in more ways then one....
