Why pickup owners are passionate about their trucks

F-Series buyers include ranchers, construction workers, small business owners, oil and gas executives and anyone who wants to pull big loads.

Sam Parnagian oversees thousands of acres of fresh grapes and mandarin oranges that will be sold at Costco and Sam's Club. Each day, he drives a 2017 F-250 Platinum through California's heartland, the third full-size pickup he has owned. "I bought one Ford and never looked back," he explained. The 26-year-old vice president of operations at Fowler Packing in Fresno, Calif., is a prime example of why the pickup sales streak is likely to continue bolstering profits at Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler.

Ford dominates the market, with F-Series truck sales at a 12-year high. The company benefits from having the newest products in this lucrative segment, an advantage that ends next year with the unveiling of Fiat Chrysler's redesigned 2019 Ram pickup at the North American International Auto Show. Shortly after, General Motors will launch updated designs of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.

Jeremiah Parker and Anne DeHaven of Shoreham, Vermont each own F-150 pickup trucks. He is a retired contractor. She manages a horse farm. Parker, 67, a retired contractor from Shoreham, Vt., has owned seven F-150 pickups and an F-250 for towing a big camper. DeHaven has owned three F-150 pickups over the past decade. “I manage a horse farm, so a truck is just as important as the air I breathe,” DeHaven said. “People are funny about their trucks. Some are Chevy people, some are Dodge folks. I’m a Ford gal."

I'm not passionate about my F150. I just enjoy the reliability of it.

It should serve as a good indicator to people, which company builds the worst truck. It's the one women flock to - Ford.
Women should not be allowed to drive trucks or Jeeps.

I understand if people need a truck for work or some other practical reason.
The vast majority of people don't need a truck for practical reasons.
Some buy for comfort. Some buy because they feel safer. Some buy because they feel like they can drive it forever.
A LOT of them buy for status.
Is there some law though that says if you own a truck you have to drive with the window down and your left arm hanging out?

My ol' man bought a new F150 Custom in 79, I was 10. He's driving Ford pickups exclusively ever since. I've had a Ford, Chevy, 2 Rams and a Nissan. I've never got why folks are so passionate about brands.

Show me anyone "passionate" about a vehicle and I'll show you a low IQ.

That truck would get stuck in mud, sand or wet grass faster than you could say 26 year old VP.
Trucks are tools. Just like a shovel. They aren't some fancy pants notation for the distribution of wealth.
Dude probably can't even drive a stick.

You want to pull heavy loads buy you a Chevy Silverado. You want to swallow heavy loads, but you a Ford F-150.

I like my truck. It has a comfortable cab and I can throw crap in the bed. Hauls three kids around easily. Also can load up the back with whatever. '10 f150
I may get an SUV at some point but not without having an old pickup on the side.

I get followed by F250's all day and they ain't towing shite. Should've bought Tacoma's to save on gas and $

If Ford doesn't pay to replace my defective rear window that they replaced 8 moths ago, it will be my last fricking Ford product.

I drive a truck and rarely tow anything. I'm kind of a do-it-yourself'er and love having a bed and for hauling shite around. I'm 42 and have had a car for 18 months and a SUV for 2 years and hated it. I wouldn't say I'm passionate about it though. It's just what I prefer to drive

Trucks are an extension of our bodies.

Would hardly describe myself as passionate about my Ram. Hell, the sumbitch stays dirty this time of year because I'm hunting all the time.
But, I'd rather drive a truck than anything else. It fits my needs. I can't go hunting in some of the places I hunt in a car. And if I'm going to choose between an SUV and a truck, it's going to be the truck every time.

I drive a truck because I’m a man and men drive trucks.
Or classic muscle cars.
