[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality to most truck buyers is they are like a Swiss Army knife. Can a little car make it to Snowshoe in a snowstorm as safe as a truck? No. Can you take a little car on the beach in Delaware? OBX? Long Island? No. Can you pick up a daughter from Collage and bring all her stuff home with a little car? No. Can you tow a boat for family days on a lake or river with a little car? No. Can you tow ATVs or side by sides for a fun day in the mountains in a little car? No. Can you tow a camper with a tiny car? No. Can a Fireman make it to work or home in a snowstorm in a tiny car? No. How about Police? Doctors? Tell us how a tiny car is so useful??[/quote]
Alot of that can be done with a little car if you install a trailer hitch, My little 4 cylinder will easily tow up to 1000lbs.[/quote]

Wow, you can tow a whole [i]thousand[/i] pounds, huh?

Maybe - [i]maybe[/i] - if we cut a hind leg off of our [i]smallest[/i] horse, we [i]might[/i] get her weight down to a thousand pounds.  :roll:

Your comment perfectly illustrates how most of you here don’t have the slightest understanding of why trucks are designed the way they are.

You aren’t equipped for this discussion. [/quote]
I said a car could do alot of those things not all of them and i fully understand that a small car does have its limits, I understand that some people need a truck for some things and i own one my self but i don't drive it unless i need to tow more than my car can handle.[/quote]

Having both a car and truck is quite expensive. Having a teen driver on my policy has us at around 400 a month for each car and truck. Our F150 King Ranch is our go to for road trips. Most comfortable seats out of any car or truck I've been in. Better than BMW, MB or Land Rovers! The heated seats are or like heating pads! Along with the massaging seats are quite nice for 10+ hour drives. Plus I get 23 MPG on road trips. Our Subaru only gets 28. And is not good for more than 3 hour trips.

Of course city folks do not think about deer hits. Yes they happen quite often in Loudoun , Fauquier, Montgomery among other places. Not only do cars total out from deer hits quite often. Deer come into the windshield often due to the height of the car vs deer. I've seen a Prius hit one at 50, toss it up in the air, Then it went threw the windshield of a Maxima killing both the driver and passenger instantly. When a SUV or truck hits a deer they go down on the pavement and do not endanger oncoming traffic as much.[/quote]
