Most SUVs are now actually CUVs, and closer in design to a car or minivan than a truck. Only the largest SUV's still have a chassis.

Yes of course, the Chelsea tractor is as bad as a truck. Obviously these seem to be the domain ironically predominantly of women drivers doing the school run picking up River and Moonshine from the local leafy urban preps chool.

I have more than enough space in my SUV for both stinky and a good amount of luggage and more than enough space needed to shift stuff as required with the seats down and it will pull a boat, unlike a minivan.

It doesn't take up the parking space of a small African country and it serves my needs. Of course people can drive what they like, my initial question was put out there as I could not personally see the massive attraction that trucks seemed to draw particularly with the boys.

I cant understand the obsession with them at all. Ugly, gas guzzling and more expensive than penis extension surgery. There are very few people who actually need that type of vehicle. Much less the ridiculous high end models that cost 50 - 60 k. You can buy a very nice car for that. If you are a builder etc why would you buy one instead of a Transit etc?? Im sure that they just convince themselves that they 'need' one to justify the ridiculous expense.

One of the lads at work was bragging about his new Chevrolet Redneckmobile. I drive a Hyundai Accent. He was asking me why I drive such a small car and I ought to get a pick up truck. I told him that its a waste of time.....my sister and cousins are all happily married.....He asked me what I meant by this...3 days later!!!

It's the people who "don't understand them" who seem to have the obsession with them.

Personally I don't care what you drive, drive a small tin box if you want to, or something larger - as far as I am concerned it's your call, but I don't feel the need to denigrate you for your choice.

I really don't think that has any truth, it doesn't make sense.
I personally don't understand the seemingly male orientated obsession to own a honking big truck. That is why I posed the initial question.Trucks are useful for certain roles, often they aren't utilised for these though. I was just curious

Well Alex is a fairly typical example of people who want to hurl insults at trucks and the people who drive them, and I would characterize that as something of an obsession.

I wasn't really addressing your OP which is a fair question, and which I have replied to above and on previous occasions - it is a "transport solution" that I chose, and I don't want to be f@rting around with a trailer, nor cramming stuff into an SUV. Other people prefer other solutions to their transport needs, and that is their right to choose, I just happened to choose a truck.

Google Queen strikes again. (shame not a clip for 'Tea' though)

And another watchseries site is always useful

Fair enough

Update- red truck parked in car park () opposite my office- FOUR women got out...baby.. not clear what that was, probably boy, his truck and the gals were just minding it for him until he reached the required age

What SUV do you drive?

A Nissan Pathfinder

Agree... We have one. Only reason is because Dad is a taller than average man and wants a roomy vehicle. Won't drive anything smaller than a truck... I am used to driving it but I don't care for it and wouldn't ever buy one. (I'd just borrow his if I needed one for anything )

We don't own any boat/trailer or anything we would actually need a truck for, either.

About as Hockey Mom as one can get.

Meaning.....?

Im male, hate iced hockey, haul loads of garden waste in it, kayaks, large dog', haul a boat

If that fits the bill then Im a real hockey mum '...what does that make Snoop then I wonder

That is the reason my dad drives a truck, although he doesn't drive one of those huge 40k fancy all bells and whistler type, just a bare bones basic, but gives him more room for his height.

We drive what we drive due to well trucks costs more + more fuel used in general, so out of our reach, but I would prefer a smaller pick up or SUV type to have a bit more room, the Mazda 2 is not fun for someone 6'4 no leg room at all, an hour drive and I am ready for a break to stretch, and being tall and the car small, I cannot see clearly out of it, left turns vision is partially obstructed and at a stop light, I have to bring my head down and crouch a bit to see the light, if I stop to where I can see it clearly, then the senor doesn't think a car is there and light doesn't change.....

If a choice between on of those smaller SUV's (or crossover, whatever they are called) and pick up I would choose one of those since they are more useful overall vs a pick up for us a back seat that can fit adults is more important since we rent and its rare we have to haul anything large.
