  • Pickup trucks account for three of the industry's Top five bestselling vehicles this year. And they're not just popular in farm states; millennials are buying the most new trucks these days, many with no desire to haul anything more than a bag of groceries. Correspondent Lee Cowan looks at how the humble pickup is evolving, growing, and hauling in a new generation of fans.

      My first truck was a 67 gmc single cab long bed, now I have an 11 and a 13 both reg cab long bed with 4wd and winches mounted in the bed so when I back up to my loading dock it easy to load. Not a fan of luxury barges, dripping with tech and living room furniture. Tim, you're right, the insecure among us have their manhood tied to their machine and it's numbers.

      Bought a brand new Chevy Trail Boss two years ago . A 2020 with a ten speed transmission and a 6.2 small block engine . I didn’t buy it for fuel mileage. We work the truck pretty good with everything we use it for . Best truck I have ever owned . I am subscribed to Tim’s channel on U Tube and enjoy his review of the newest equipment out there. Where we live in Kansas and what we do , simply couldn’t do it all without a good truck . That was a fun piece on Sunday Morning. Nice to see pickups get their day in the sun .

      Most truck lovers should just admit it - that they don't really need an overly expensive $70,000 vehicle, but that they have a poor self image. And that if they 'arrive' in a big, stylish truck, they are 'somebody' finally and they are 'big' and 'tough'. But what we really know is that they are poorer and foolish with their money.

    I love my pickup. But it's a light pickup. And you can't really find those anymore. I don't count the Colorado- it's too big and I don't like it. My truck is 20 years old and I still don't want to replace it. I earned the rust spots. I haul garden stuff all the time. I have space, with the 3rd door (but no back seats), for my dogs. It's small - I don't need a giant one because I am not working off-road. I wish they still sold the small Toyota, Mazda, or the S10, Sonoma. If you don't need the extras, and you get it anyway, you're compensating for something.

Forget about the impact on the environment, the danger to pedestrians and bicyclists with their blind zones, and the small fortunes you need in order to afford one of these monstrosities (in a recession, nonetheless). And the automotive industry doesn't care about us, they just want our money. They tell us "this is just part of American culture." It's a lie. They are out for your money, and they will do and say whatever it takes to get it from you.

    What the woman at 4:40 said captures exactly what the prevailing mindset is in U.S. culture. A culture of consumption - buying what one wants and not what one needs. There's a reason full size pick-ups only sell in the U.S. Most societies around the world consider them too gaudy and inefficient to be worth the cost. And in a global economy still at the mercy of oil prices, there's little left for the rest of the world to justify spending money on it.

    I'm keeping my eyes out for a pickup truck. But I want a truck, not a Lexus. I'm looking for an F150 or F250 pre-2010. With either the 5.4 V8 or 6.8 V10 gas. With a genuine 3 pedal manual transmission, and manual locking, manual transfer case 4 wheel drive. In quad cab, 8 foot bed, with nothing more than power windows and locks, cruise control, and air conditioning. Don't need or want leather. No moonroof. No navigation. These are the last of what I call analog trucks - few computers running everything, basic old-school port fuel injection with no direct inject or turbos, few sensors other than anti-lock brake wheel speed sensors, and yet somehow it still gets the job done as well as a brand new $75,000 F250 with heated and cooled leather and tri-zone climate control lol

    More Americans should start embracing the ownership of a JDM kei truck for a change. With just the basic bare-bones features you need. Costs a hell of a lot less than today’s trucks these days.
    Or better yet, start their own car company that only manufactures small vehicles like kei trucks in the USA. Maybe with electric swappable battery inserts

    I swore up and down I would never by a Pick-up or SUV. I didn't see the need for them. But, I ended up in a car accident with my VW Jetta GLi and saw the 22 Tacoma. The VW Golf GTi I wanted would've taken 6 months to get because of the "shortages". I couldn't wait that long and I needed a truck for my house. While not the largest truck out there, it does what I need it to do. I still despise the SUV though.

    The truth is the wisdom of our environment friendly EPA has set mpg standards so high on a family sedan or station wagon that manufacturers were forced to stop making them and build four door trucks that have lower standards. The result of government genius is families go to work, home, school and play in a 15mpg truck instead of a 30mpg sedan. Remember kids, government is not the solution, government is the problem. 🤠
