14. Some big pickup drivers consider Ford Rangers to be "girl's trucks"

or "fake trucks." On the other hand, a lot of owners of big pickups would never load a pile of brush in their "precious," like I frequently do. They wouldn't haul a piano for a friend, either, like I have done several times with various old pickups of all sizes.

I like having a pickup for its utility. My neighbors like my pickup truck, too. I say, "Oh, just toss your brush and tree trimmings in the Ranger. I'll take them to the chipping yard for you." Or, "Sure, I'll be glad to haul your snowblower to the repair shop. No problem."

I never loan the truck out, though. If someone breaks it, I'll have to fix it, since nobody has ever offered to fix something they have borrowed from me and broken. Besides, most people these days can't drive a manual transmission vehicle anyhow.
