I don't know how to do a poll here, it would be interestig to capture votes the old fashioned way. But, if you guys/gals will answer honestly, based upon your current lifestyle- not the lifestyle you aspire to (I plan to get a boat one day), please post your answer to the following.


1.) Do you need your truck? (Would you simply be unable to do everything you normally do today, with a passenger car.)

2.) Do you want a truck? (You could get along just fine in a car, but you like trucks, so you bought a truck.)

I am a member of the want crowd. I just liked the way the 1997 F-150's looked, and in 1999 I joined the club with my Amazon Green, 4.6L 4 x 2, SuperCab F-150.

It has come in handy a few times, but did I need a truck? No...

Then again, with all the post-Army weight I've gained, maybe I do need my truck, for easy entry. But, being a fat-boy aside, no- I don't need a truck...

How about you?

Need or want?

 

I do haul on occasion, nothing heavy, just some trash to the dump, furniture here and there. So I guess, yes I do need a truck and yes I did want one.

 

when I had my truck, I used it as a truck.

 

answer: I need a truck.

I use it for work (residential construction work) and for my boat (I already have).

 

I started with want. Then I bought a fixer upper house and went immediately into need. I couldn't have done a remodel on my old house without the use of a truck. However the 4x4 was still a want and never quite turned into a need. Next truck will be a 4x2 (with a blower). That will be a little of both, want and need.

I have needed a truck a number of times when I had my car. Finally said, "skip it, I am getting a truck."

 

Thats a tuff question. I guess i really dont need one but i get a lot of enjoyment out of it. I use it a lot. It does come in handy when i need to move something.

 

No, as long as I have a tow hitch to pull my atv trailer with.

I don't use my bed anyway, just for grocerys and luggage.

 

Need.

M - F its just like a car....but the weekends I treat it like a truck....I didnt get the linex for the looks....I work it...I'll never be without a truck again.

 

Need...once I did without, I NEEDED another one..so I got one.

Need.

Since I work on cars, I need something I can haul parts and tools and whatnot in. I also need something capable of towing my trailer when I have to go get a dead car.

 

Need:

Hunting, Fishing, Boating (tow quite a bit in summer) and hauling.....M-F it is more or less for commuting.....but weekends it gets used often.......

....not to mention my fat a$s feels safer and more comfortable in a truck....

 

So basically, it is more then a commuter Mon-Fri. It takes a full sized truck to haul you around....is this correct, sir?

 

I would say that is a fair assessment.......
