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?

Most of the points here are on the great reasons to have a truck. I'll be devils advocate and point out the following: -In a big city, parking spots don't mix well with full size trucks. -When people know you have a truck, you can almost certainly expect to get calls from people, even ones you hardly know, wondering "what are you doing this weekend" whenever they need something moved or hauled.

On the good side: it is nice to be able to haul a boat, quad, pair of jet skis, snowmobile, camper or just to easily pick up new appliances or furniture yourself without having to wait for and pay some movers.

Big city... Fuck that place. Did a job in Brooklyn once. F350 dually, crew cab, 8' bed and a 12' dump trailer. Street cleaning day... Had to move. Found two and a half spots. Parallel parked that shit no problem. Lady that had also just moved her car watched with her jaw on the sidewalk. Couldn't believe I pulled it off.

Valid points, but to be fair, if you do live in a shoebox like NYC, Los Angeles, Denver, etc. and drive a truck or large wheel base vehicle, you're nigger tier stupid
