Drivers of full-size SUVs migrate toward big pickups (gas problem solved :o)

Owners are fleeing full-size SUVs in dramatic numbers, but it's not necessarily because of high fuel prices. Sport-utility émigrés are winding up in fuel-thirsty full-size pickups more frequently than in any other category of vehicle.

The full-size pickup... the latest favorite of the road-raging Interstate a-hole.

Why does the writer put "big" infront of each pick-up he talks about. Everyone he wrote about was the regular size pick-up of that manufacturer. Has he never seen a Dodge Ram 3500HD. Especially the one with reclining back seats! (drools all over self)

That's odd, I'm thinking of selling my pickup and buying an SUV.

Maybe he was differentiating between the small and mid-size pickups like Tacoma and Colorado?
