One thing I don't like on pick-ups are camper shells (it's like 'get an suv!). Tonneau covers are okay but a pain. But a plain pickup used for what they should be used for is pretty sexy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/grin.gif)

As soon as my kids get big enough to not require a carseat anymore, I intend to purchase a 4x4! We live in Southeastern Oklahoma and are considered "hicks" if you want. We go four wheel driving and camping off-road anything outdoors and we are there! I say drive what you want but trucks are AWESOME! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap.gif)

Especially the beat up one that lives in the back of my garage. But you try hauling anything in the sports cars or hybrids I drive and you will quickly appreciate the truck. I say a woman should drive whatever she darn well pleases!

It was a little strage - little girl with a BIG truck, but really cool though. Came in real handy on moving day!
