Thread: Who drives a pickup that doesn't need one for work?

For a few years I've been wanting to get an F-150, I don't need a pickup for work but I love the design and technology/features. It would also make taking my bike places a lot simpler, I now have to take it apart for it to barely fit in my car with the rear seats down. I also sometimes see people chilling in the bed of their pickup, I'd do that from time to time too.

Who has a pickup without needing one for work and do you recommend one?

4 door, 4WD Toyota Tacoma and yes, worth it (paid off).

I live on the beach and pull phaggots out of the sand all the time - plus it gets me to prime fishing spots I'd otherwise not be able to drive to without 4WD. We used to own horses and it hauled the trailer. Was a tremendous help after the hurricane last year.

2 door regular cab Tundra here. Rock star rims on 305 tires. Gotta haul my toys some way.

Better to have a truck and not need one than need one and not have one.

Much like guns.

2012 4WD Titan Crew Cab. I use it occasionally. Usually just to help people move. Done some yard work where I loaded it up with pavers once. Some Goodwill trips to get rid of junk. Not much in 6 years of owning it, but it’s payed off and I’ve only put 21k miles on it.

V8 F-150 Lariat, Crew Cab 4x4 on 33's, paid for.

-I pull a trailer occasionally
-Bought a house built in the late 80's...always doing a project of some sort
-Trips to Lowes/HD...trips to the dump....loads of materials.
-Seats 5 extremely comfortably.
-I'm 6'6 255...lol at a regular size vehicle
-I live in Middle GA....70% of vehicles on the road are trucks
-Just throw chit in the back
-Friends calling asking me to help them get stuff

I work from home....dont even have a commute right now......but I avg 15mpg of 89

Everybody needs a truck boyo.

Truck crew

I do not need one for work but for personal life its a must. Home depot runs. I have 2 truck campers I use almost year around. I need to haul 4 kayaks, camping. my dirt bike, etc, etc.

LOL if you have a truck and don't need it for anything.

i do not need my ram 1500 for work. it is the 4-door "big horn." i've had it for 10 years now and still going. camping trips, taking dog places, house projects, whatever. no regrets.

just get one OP. you don't owe anybody explanations for the vehicle you go out and purchase.

2020 ford raptor

I use it to drive over really big curbs and race people in between traffic lights downtown.

My mustang is v8 and it’s by far not great in gas mileage gets about 16mpg and it costs $35 to fill up with premium and both vehicles get about same mileage w one tank of gas.


Can’t imagine someone using a truck to go to their 9-5 and use it as a daily. You are wasting so much money on gas.

My truck gets 16mpg tho.

I got that 36 gal tank on my 2018 F150 5.0. I actually need it since I hangout hours from a gas station for long periods of time and need to drive. This is why rural America makes no sense regarding electric cars. How do I plug in my Cybertruck in the middle of the woods?
