What do you call the Chevrolet S-10, the Dodge Ram, the Ford F150? The F150 is the best selling vehicle in the US, I see hundreds of them every day. The only real difference between pickups and SUVs is that trucks are generally driven by men and SUVs are generally driven by women. Very few women use their SUVs to carry 6 kids or 2 passangers and 3 mountain bikes, just like a very small percentage of the men who drive pickups use them for carrying truckloads of gravel. How many pickups do you usually see on the highway that actually have a large item in the bed? 1 out of 100? > >>use the same frame, engine, and front end (IE Chevy Blazer = Chevy S-10 >>with a back seat instead of a bed).

Do you actually have a reason, or do you just hate one segment of the auto market for an arbitrary reason? -- "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it." --Mark Twain
