A truck is a work vehicle.
Not a glorified, oversized Caddy.
Not a glorified, oversized Caddy.
Not always.
Some of my co-workers have F350-450s that they use to haul their boats and travel trailers.
The rest of the time they drive them to and from work.
These guys do not do much else with these trucks. Maybe an occasional hunting trip or hauling a load of mulch.
Henry Ford made the mistake of thinking people only wanted a vehicle to get from point a to point b. Fancy people, and there are lots of ‘em, want to spend their money on stupid stuff.
SUVs used to be built from truck parts. Now p/u trucks are built from SUV parts.
You are wrong. I had a F350 model truck and hardly ever used it for doing work. I didn’t want to scratch up the bed for one thing, or even the liner. I basically used it for commuting or driving around. That truck handled driving in snow really well.

You might be surprised how big this market is. If you get out on the interstate here in Texas and the southwest in general you will see a lot of fancy horse trailers, travel trailers, etc, being towed by these type trucks. In fact, many are being driven by women, wives and daughters, who participate in rodeo, shows, etc. much bigger than city huggers may realize.
That may be true for ranch folks but not someone like me with 10 acres and horses near a big city
Nashville
I lease dodge 1500 4wd sometimes I get lucky and they give me a Hemi
Usually it’s a six banger like in a Jeep....it’s ok....great mileage
I e owned every truck known since 1971
I prefer Cummins or the old 7.3 ford.....the new Duramax is smooth and reliable
The new Ford diesels are a joke without a 2-5000 dollar bulletproofing
I learned hard way that one
Tks SCT TUNER FOR THAT BILL ON A NEW HEAD!
Anyhow
My trucks are utility for alfalfa etc but also for trips with my kids and date night with Wifey
So a combo Yukon and pickup with some comfort suits us....
I pay 650/month...and provide my own insurance
I run. Lot of miles.......85-150,000 year
My dads old construction trucks were usually GMC just cause he liked them
Bench seats and manual and wood beds sidesteps in the 60s
Utilitarian like Internationals etc
So we’re both right
