Pickup trucks have always been important because they can haul and tow much more equipment than the average vehicle. However, for every person that needs the capabilities of a truck, there are ten more that drive it to attempt to achieve a social status, to create a facade of being country folks even though they live in a rich suburb of a city that is only Southern by a technicality, because nothing says country like driving around in a brand-spanking-new GMC Sierra and blasting Old Town Road.

But enough rambling, what are your thoughts?

You can pry my truck from my cold dead hands. Bed for hauling shit. Chain timing belt and strong engine means it'll run as long as I maintain it. 4x4 means I don't care about weather too much. Comfy ride. That said there are some real shit trucks out there. Research is needed to get a good one. But when you do, it's like no other vehicle.

Please tell me you have sufficient weight in the bed when it snows and aren't one of the people I have to push out of some snow that they got stuck in.

Haven't had any issues with snow locking me in. But we also don't get feet like other places so. Most I've seen was a foot

Then I am happy to share this with you before you ever run into it. The locking in isn't so much the issue, but spinning out in a little bit of snow or ice because your bed was empty is a problem. If you ever find yourself in someplace that has more winter than you're used to, remember to put some weight in your bed, even if you have to shovel snow in there and pack it in. That will stop you from spinning out like a chink changing lanes on a perfectly flat and dry stretch of road.
