Eh, a lot of folks love trucks. I've owned one, a 1997 Mazda B4000, six cylinder, 4x4, manual transmission. It served to move me from Georgia to Vermont, and for a couple of years in Yankeeland, but I realized I no longer had a need for it, and really, I hated driving a truck. I was glad I did, so I could get a sense of what all the fuss was about, but it just didn't do it for me. Still, there are a cubic butt-load of trucks up here, just as there were in Georgia, and folks spend a ton of money on 'em. To each their own.
