Pickups trucks are for what you need them for. In the 70s I did some drywall in new building construction. A beat up old Chevy with a big long bed suited me fine. In 2014 as a retired guy who likes to hunt and fish with my 3 large adult sons, a loaded Ram with crew cab and a 5 foot capped bed is what I need. Comfortable too. Tows my boat and can load it with more gear thanI need for a week hunting.
And the kids use it for hauling whatever they need to haul for their own houses.
“Pickups trucks are for what you need them for.”
There is nothing wrong with that. It is just that they start looking like a 1974 Lincoln Town cars without a deck lid.
I hope you enjoy the fishing. It is good you share an interest. My sons got interested in computers and have no interest in woodworking or cars.
