They are big, ugly, ride badly and consume vast amounts of petrol.

Over here pickup trucks are used as a utility vehicle and not as a family car.

Are you Yanks born stupid or is stupidity something you learn?

I get 26 mpg in my full sized pickup. YOU on the other hand can't haul shit in your little car, if you buy something like a bed/furniture etc... you have to pay extra for it to be brought to your home. Dumbass...

Re: Why Do You Americans Love Pickup Trucks So Much?
I'll try to explain this OP the best I can..

Living here in Texas, I would say I'm an authority on this subject. Okay, I own five different vehicles, one being a truck.

I use the truck very sparingly these days simply because I'm all grown up now, and have came to the realization I no longer need a 12,000 pound vehicle to move my 200lb ass from point A to point B.

On occasion, I still need the truck to pull the camper during deer season, or to move things like washers, refrigerators, or other heavy and bulky household goods. I simply don't need it for routine transportation, I have other vehicles that are much more economical, offer much better performance, and are less expensive to operate than a Ford F250.

Most people who drive trucks these days are doing it because of an "image" they are trying to project of themselves. They think those around them are somehow impressed, or even intimidated by a big heavy "he man" type vehicle, while the actual truth is - trucks are mostly a pain in the ass to find a parking spot for. They don't handle for shit while on the open road, all of them are speed limited to about 100mph, and Gawd help you if you are T-Boned in the side while driving one. Even a very small car due to it's lower center of gravity can very easily blow a full sized truck off it's feet if hit in the side.

Other reasons are the perceived safety factor most non truck people think their "King Dick" truck offers.

Fact is, trucks can't meet the same DOT Safety Protocols as required by a passenger car. Trucks have their own safety requirements, but overall they do not provide the same level of crash protection a typical mid sized car offers.

NHTSA and DOT crash test data all support these facts!

Snow and icy roads, trucks really suck! Unless they are 4wd, they are simply too light in the ass end to offer any serious prospects of gaining traction under these conditions. Even with proper weather rated tires, they still are borderline dangerous to be driving around under these conditions.

About the only thing positive about driving a truck for daily transportation is the fact they offer massive amounts of low rpm torque. After all, this is what's required to move heavy loads they might be tasked to move. Typically, the heaviest thing a truck owner will ever have in the bed of their truck comes from the Saturday afternoon grocery store run. Other than that, unless the truck is being use in commercial application, trucks live a very posh and stress free life here in Texas.

About one out of ten trucks on the road are used as a truck should be, the rest are operated by tiny dick little men looking for something that feeds their micro penis inferiority complex.

Hope this helped...

Full sized SUVs on the other hand, offer everything and even more of what the average truck driver thinks he's found in his truck.

op is obviously a queer. We all understand, you live on a little island and have no free space to roam, too bad. Here in the US we have plenty of space and dirt roads. Driving those roads in our King Ranch F-150's is a freedom you'll never comprehend. We breath freedom here, that's why are dicks are so much bigger than yours. Now pack into your pussy Saab and take a deep breath of your stale fish gut laden air and drive to your little house and enjoy your bangers and mash.

100% truth.

Another thing: Because of the high ride the cargo bed is high up, in less friendly climates you need a hard-top and suddenly you have a huge car with pretty much useless cargo space.

That is why I drive a 4WD cargo van, way, way more practical.

its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel
