What do you use your pickup truck for?

It beats taking your van/SUV out to playgrounds with a trailer. put my bikes or ATV in the Bed.
Also sometimes confiscated for dump runs and home improvement projects by my father when I'm at home. (I KNEW they had ulterior motives for buying me a pickup truck=)
Also... don't make fun of me, but it takes the garbage to the end of the driveway for pickup. hehehe it's usually 5-6 cans of trash and it's a 100 yard driveway.
I'm an addict, I confess... I can never own anything other than a pickup. My next step will probably be an extended cab half-ton. If I ever become a family man, it'll probably be one of the light duty crew cabs. I just love never having to worry about something being too big to fit in my vehicle. It's also nice to be able to jump the occasional curb without worrying about bent wheels or thrown-off alignment.
Sometimes I get a laugh when I'm at work at Sears and I see the ridiculous things people try to make our poor merchandise pickup guys try to cram into hatchbacks and sports cars. I'll finish selling something big like a treadmill or weight system, then the customer gets this perplexed look on their face and finally remebers to ask... "say, how big is the box it coems in? Will it fit in the trunk of a Jetta?" My favorite was when somebody showed up in a hatchback and wanted to strap a 200 pound ping pong table to the roof despite the fact that we told her the things can only be transported in cargo vans, pickups, or roof racks rated for 250 lbs and might buckle the roof of a passenger car.
