The pickup truck, able to fulfill a variety of needs, is the utility knife of the automotive industry. The bed out back means it can haul cargo most other vehicles can’t, the raised ground clearance allows it to plow through flood, and the advent of modernized interiors and suspension makes it more drivable than ever.
Pickup trucks are also relatively affordable. There are a handful of models, including from mainstream Japanese and American manufacturers, that can be had for a reasonable amount. Auto loans add even more flexibility to the mix, too.
