It would take an extremely stupid person to choose a Ford F-450 as an urban runabout car. Likewise, how often do you park your behemoth in urban parking garages? The two of you should never meet -- different vehicles for different uses. This UP! won't show up on the farm pulling horse trailers and your F-450 won't be parking in the parking lot of the student union at Boston College.
Good point. I prefer an F-250 for driving over little metal thingies in college parking lots.
I don’t live in an urban city. But down south here in God’s country, folks drive big trucks everywhere, even with the current price of gasoline and diesel. Have you ever driven through Birmingham, Nashville, or Hotlanta? Big pickup trucks everywhere. I only drive my truck to tow my boat or trailer. Otherwise, I drive my Saturn Sky Redline.
Stupid yes, uncommon no. Every day I see big duallies and SUV's with one 105-pound little lady behind the wheel, off to drop three one-ounce letters into the slot at the post office.
