That's been like this all my life and I'm 56. Kill a deer put it in the truck bed, taking off trash in truck bed (everyone doesn't have trash pickup service). We have a trailer to pull behind truck when we are hauling more than will fit in the bed. Just about every man I know owns a truck and uses it. Sure they like the look but it's very functional when you need more than a car or SUV. We have always had a truck except that time hubby thought a jeep would be cool. We have had Chevy, Toyota and Ford. The F150 is the most comfortable truck I've been in. It's paid for so will have it for a long while.
