So all of you have missed the real reason for a truck - so our redneck friends have a place to put their rifle.

I'm guessing that the practical purpose of a pickup truck as opposed to a regular car is to transport material that is too large, heavy, dirty, rough or otherwise unsuitable for transport in a regular car.
I would just like to take this opportunity to point out that almost every post after this was unnecessary, with the exception of the one person who pointed out that pickups can also be useful for towing. Also, they can be useful for driving off road or in the mountains.
Jeeps are far better fr driving off road or in the mountains.
The entirety of Europe will fit in an area less than that occupied by the states east of the Mississippi River. The US has a lot of empty and open space while Europe and Asia are very urbanized.My family hosts international students. We live in Colorado, one of the students asked if it would be possible for him to drive to New York and back over the weekend ... uhh no. There is a lot of empty space out there and it isn't all that easy to get your crap from Home Depot to where you live, or the grocery store, etc. The pickup for me is great, I can haul stuff with it, do stuff in it, it is an all purpose utility vehicle.And for those of you who are so down on pickups, no you can't borrow mine the next time you need to haul crap and no, I don't want to help you move.

In most european and asian countries gas is $4/gallon. Only people who really need pick ups have them, almost all own construction or moving heavy things businesses. where i am now many farmers own micro pick ups like the size of a taurus. the practical purpose: hauling heavy shit. the typical american purpose: looking good. surprized?

Ever try to hang a gun up in the back window of a Prius?
Not quite the same effect.
Cars and trucks vary in sizes and shapes, obviously. Cars are typically for city driving or racing (if it's modified for that purpose). Trucks can be used for off-roading. Both vehicles can be modified so you can install new wheels, tires, or other accessories you like. For some truck owners, they upgrade the suspension parts for more off-road capability. I own one and I installed a few good truck parts for an upgrade. I bought parts online such as http://4wheelonline.com/, autoanything, and even local shops.
Could'nt hang my rifle in the back window of my Vett, so I got a pickup. Plus, visits to Costo are more productive with a truck.
How else are you supposed to communicate to the world that your penis is small?
Put a 26.1 sticker on it. The truck not the penis.
JD power just recently ranked the Ford F150 #1 in reliability.

Ford makes the most trucks overall. They don't have the most models but do make more trucks than anyone I know. Guys buy fords because they are crap. Gives them a reason to get a new one every year, or two if they get there. Chevy and dodge are much more reliable.
trucks are for work and play. You can load it with tons(literally) of stuff and move around, or go off-road in the mud and over obstacles you would not dare do this with a car unless you want to destroy it.
Riding in the back of a truck is fun and usually done on private property. And there are laws against driving too fast when people are on the back of a truck and an accident is an accident no matter what vehicle.
Just rent a truck at Home Depot when you need a truck that one time a year that makes you want to own a truck to drive the other 364 days driving a truck for no other reason than to buy gasoline or diesel way the hell too much and have a sore back and drive like a dick because you can and are an idiot and help people move way more than you want to because you have a truck that's not a truck it's just an SUV without a roof on it or seats and you suck if you drive a truck instead of a cool car like me.

So I can ROLL COAL
Gear for a life worth living. Stuff for a house worth having.
Yes it guzzles gas. This is why you get yourself an education and a work ethic so that it’s not your only vehicle.
the American way of life is to live in over-sized homes, drive over-sized cars, pile up debt, and work till you die. do not question it, traitor.
