What's the practical purpose of a pickup truck as opposed to a regular car?
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.
If you plan to haul more stuff than people in your vehicle.
Well, if you want to have any chance with Bobbi Jo Gentry, you'll get the pickup!
Well i got my first truck, when i was three,
Drove a hundred thousand miles on my knees
Hauled marbles and rocks, and thought twice before
I hauled a barbie doll bed for the girl next door
When she paid me with a kiss i began to understand,
There's just something women like about a pickup man
When i turned sixteen, i saved a few hundred bucks
My first car was a pickup truck
Started cruisin' the town and the first girl i seen
Was bobbie jo gentry the homecoming queen
She flagged me down and climbed up in the cab, and said
"i never knew you were a pickup man!"
(chorus)
You can set my truck on fire, roll it down a hill
But i still wouldn't trade it for a coupe deville
It's got an eight foot bed that never has to be made
You know if it weren't for trucks we wouldn't have tailgates
I met all my wives in traffic jams,
You know there's something women like about a pickup man
Most friday nights, i can be found
In the back of my truck on an old chaise lounge
Backed into my spot at the drive-in show
You know a cargo light gives off a romantic glow
I never have to wait in line at the popcorn stand,
There's just something women like about a pickup man
Chorus
A bucket of rust, or a brand new machine
Once around the block and you'll know what i mean
Chorus
Why do girls like guys who drive pickup trucks?
My dad hauls firewood in his pickup.
It shows that you´re a redneck.

This post should be the thread ender. Though I will add the need for hauling heavy boats, trailers or other equipment.
You will get to be closer to all your fringe friends, every time one of them moves you will be the first person they think of.

This has to rank as one of the dumbest question ever posted here.
Is that because you drive on yourself, luv2run?
Why is it that most pickups are made by Ford, eg F150,F250 etc and if you don't drive one of these with a Support Or Troops and Amercan flag sticker in some areas of USA, (where people like YEP and lets2run and company live, )you're considered unpatriotic?
Ford has the ranger & f series.
Toyota tacoma & tundra
chevy - colorado, avalanche, silverado
nissan - frontier & titan
So as you can see Ford doesn't have more models, they just sell the most. F150 has been the #1 selling vehicle for about 50 consecutive years.
Truck...carcasses
Car...bodies
in Alaska?
You can sleep in the back of a pickup, actually live in it for extended periods, i.e.road trips.

Isn't that dangerous? What about the people you see riding in the back of a pickup truck? If the driver gets into an accident, they're history.
I agree. Every 2-3 years, my department leases a brand new F-150. I've never liked them...rough ride, boxy, on and on.....
Gee, what's the practical purpose of a 45 foot tractor trailer as opposed to a regular car?
What's the practical purpose of a space shuttle as opposed to a regular car?
