basically the same things everyone else said w/ some additions. I can run through the desert, i can go to the snow, i can tow/launch my boat, throw anything/everything in the back, carry a handful of people, it's lifted so there's some privacy, it doesnt sound like a pressure cooker, I can pull any car/truck/or suv out that gets stuck, i can beat any little ricer that thinks he's cool, insurance isnt that bad, im safe in it, if i get hit, there wont be much damage, and i always have a trashcan anywhere i go(the bed). Oh, and i can run ppl over if they **** me off.

For all of the above reasons and one more..............cops don't look at trucks as "Fast" or "Ticket Bait" It's the stealth factor.
I just got on the on ramp a couple weeks ago and whacked it wide open, there was a cop on the opposite side of the road, he thought it was the car behind me making all the noise. I rolled on into the sunset as the guy behind me got pulled over. I quickly exited the freway and took the side roads home.
I guess he thought the stock looking grampa truck was not the culprit.

yes, I always thought that cops never look at trucks the same as they do cars. I have always been a truck man and even though one is a V6 and the other is under the knife, one will be fast before too long. Both of my trucks handle better than most of my friends cars and get better mileage aswell. Also, nothing is better than doing a great smokey burnout and looking back through the rear glass of the cab and seeing the smoke rush through the gap between the cab and bed.....awesome

Yer friends cars suck! Better handling pickup truck? Better fuel mileage too? Yup, I think those cars need help.
