Not only do trucks get bigger every year, but at least where I live...EVERYONE has one. Let me put it this way: if your family has less than 4 people, you work construction, or on a farm....you DO NOT need a truck. ..
Wrong..
my family is two people..myself and my wife.
We do not work in construction, or on a farm.
I never wanted a pickup truck, never cared for them, never wanted to own one. (my ideal vehicle is a Ford Mustang) but I have a small truck now because my wifes parents gave us one..(My wife's mom cant drive anymore, so they had no need for two vehicles..)
the context:
For the past 10 years I drove a 2-door Honda Civic.
For the past 10 years my wife has driven a 2-door Chevy Cavalier.
both have very small trunks, and its not easy to get things in and out of the rear seats.
We got married 2 years ago, bought a house one year ago.
(the first 6 months of owning our house we did not have the pickup truck)
We like to garden.
Bringing home mulch and topsoil in a 2-door coupe isnt terribly handy.
We were loading mulch into 5 gallon buckets in the trunk..
I had to buy a lawnmower when we bought the house..I had to have a friend with a
pickup truck meet me at Sears to bring it home..I could not fit the lawnmower box into any orifice of a 2-door Honda Civic.
Since we were given the truck, I have used it to carry mulch, topsoil, fences, lawnmowers, small trees and bushes, and firewood..all things that we had no way to move with two coupes..the truck is VERY handy to have!
so you can take your self-righteous "you
DO NOT need a truck."
and shove it..
I hate it when people tell others what they can and cant do.. so annoying.
