Why Do You Have A Truck?

[importkiller76]

Was just thinking this past weekend that I love my truck and even tho I don't use it for work everyday like some people I do in fact need it. Got me thinking. Why does everyone here own a truck? Just because you want one? Do you need one for work? Myself I need my truck because I live in Saskatchewan and there are days when I wouldn't leave my yard if I had a car. I live on an acreage and am continuously hauling stuff around including my hunting dogs. What about everyone else? Here's a pic of my truck from this past weekend after a small blizzard we had. Doesn't look to bad but this is after I slammed threw a 6 foot drift in my driveway

1. I like trucks

3. Why Not?

1. first vehicle was a chevy truck and i'm used to it

2. i live in texas

3. i can haul trailer, boat, moving stuff (washer/dryer) instead of relying on people to help me move.

4. cant stand driving/riding in a tiny-ass car.

Because I want one

I haul things, furniture, garbage to the dump etc.

Other than the convenience of being able to haul or tow when I need to, I drive a truck because modern cars are not designed to allow anyone over 6 feet tall with a build huskier than a toothpick to drive them.

-My first truck was a gmc and always preferred driving trucks

-haul my quad around

-the box is really good for throwing my beer cans in for when i go down to the river

-our gravel road is not cleared very much in the winter so the clearance and 4x4 does alot

I have a truck for various reason, it's basically a automotive swiss army knife... a truck can do so many things...

1. I like being higher than 80% of the other traffic on the road

2. I push, pull, and haul with my truck.

3. I like trucks, and love GMC's

4. Trucks have a MUCH better ground clearance than cars... (if you for some reason run into a ditch in the winter, there is a reasonable chance you could drive out in a truck. Had you been in a car, you may as well call the wrecker, or your buddy with... thats right.... a truck!)

5. Trucks are a multi-purpose tool you can drive, thus they earn their keep.

I'm going to allow it....

Why not? I can move just about anything I want/need, I can drive through any storm we get here. Pulls the TT great, and pulls the snowmobiles way better then our old blazer did.

 

Oh and the ladies love the truck guys!

I dont really need a truck but I've used the bed so many times. After owning a truck, I don't think I ever want to have another car, only trucks for me.
