I prefer the superior handling of a car. Plus they're usually faster while being a LOT better on gas.

That being said, I always have had a soft spot for the pickup truck. Large or small, I like them both, as long as it isn't one of those silly crew cabs with a useless 5' bed. I don't think I could ever spend the the $$$$ on a newer one, as I see them as a tool, not some sort of status symbol. Plus there is a certain release about driving a junky old truck that you don't care about, if you dent it, scratch it, or slide off the road in a snow storm, it doesn't really matter.

Truck drive like crap and look like ***, I need a truck once a year at best to move stuff, I go rent one.

Well, that's just it, Paul.....and, to some extent, the main reason for the thread. SUVs come in both car-based unibody and truck-based body-on-frame. Take your own Ford Explorer, for instance. It was a truck-based SUV for over two decades, but is now unibody car-based. The Nissan Pathfinder has an even more interesting history. Like the original Toyota 4-Runner, it started out as a pickup truck with a box-shell on it. But then, it then converted to unibody, then converted back to body-on-frame, and now, on the latest one that shares its design with the infiniti JX35, has converted back, once again, to unibody.....this time probably for good.

I voted car only because I've never owned a truck or a truck based SUV. If I could afford, I wouldn't mind trying a truck, but it has to come in manual transmission. It's sad that many of them come only in automatic.

I prefer cars. I can't stand riding in SUV's or lifted trucks.

However I really like a lot of trucks and I need one for my business. A Tundra or Sierra Denali would be nice to have, but I may buy another car instead.

I love riding in trucks(don't care for lifts though). Makes visibility over other cars much better. Especially here where everybody parks in the red zones.

My pops will always swear for trucks and vouch for them, easy to see, higher up, easy to drive, efficient in terms of transporting big things, etc. I couldn't see myself driving a truck tho

I love sports car but if I had to own just one vehicle, it'd have to be a truck. It can haul, tow, drive through more rugged terrains, a great cruiser while still carrying 5-6 people with the right truck of course. However, the only downfall is always the gas mileage and sometimes parking.

I bought a first gen tundra a few years back and have upgraded to a 2013 Tundra. A sports car feels great on the tracks but a truck feels best on a dirt road.

FrankReynoldsCPA

Yeah, rugged terrain is my biggest reason for wanting a truck. My LS400 did not do well at all in the mud on spring break.

I live off some real twisty roads and I love throwing a vehicle into curves, and I've owned more than 10 Miatas - so of course I'm gonna say car is my first choice, but trucks certainly have their place. This is my current truck, and while not fun on a curvy road, it's fantastic at everything else....
