I don't get the people who commute an hour to their office job in giant duallys taking up 2 parking spots and the truck bed looks like it's never been used.

That said, if I were in the market for a pickup, this would be it. I like it. The grill looks good on a truck.
I agree.

Never understood people living alone, with no children and with white collar office jobs driving these behemoths back and forth to work. Talk about a mid life crisis vehicle!

They complain about the size, difficulty to park, ride and fuel economy... It's a truck after all no matter how much wood, leather and electronic gizmos you can throw at it.

I don't like pickups and never lusted for one. Growing up, these were driven by farmers, construction workers and tradesmen. If I owned one, it would have to be to back up a solid business decision/operation. But driving around on one just to look 'macho' and 'cool' no thanks!
