Oh definitely. The F series (trucks) is outstanding and the mustangs are great. I had a little Ford Bronco I drove until the engine blew up after a couple thousand miles.

Go on Craigslist and find someone old selling their car. They take good care of them and they hardly drive, and if they do it's slow as fuck.

So, are you... tired of your old car? Bahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!

Why?

Trucks are useful. You can use them to bring objects from one place to another that you wouldn't be able to in a sedan in multiple trips.
They're big. You can see over other traffic. And if you're a defensive driver, this is a pretty awesome thing, as you can see what's happening down the road instead of only being able to see nothing more than the license plate of the Honda Civic hatchback in front of you.
Fullsize pickups usually have good, powerful engines. Being able to accelerate quickly is not a showmanship, but a tool when needed.
They can pull other vehicles out of the mud/ditch.
They can drive in high water and over obstacles with ease.
And they're not hard to park. You just need to learn how to back into parking spaces. If you can't back into a tight spot between two other vehicles after a few times of trying, your problem isn't the truck.

I guess there's the whole "eww truck, you must be a redneck douchebag" factor, which means absolutely nothing regarding why someone should choose a certain vehicle or not. I'd say the only actual reasons to not get one are the gas mileage considerations. Other than that, they're really useful.

Source: Own a fullsize pickup. Will never go back to small cars unless I end up living in Europe again, solely because there's just no space for trucks there.

Because he's looking to buy a car. A truck would undermine that effort.

I just bought a used car, 2010, 30 mpg, compared to my current 2004 15 mpg. That means I will save like $100 a month. The car payment with financing is $120/month. I was basically forced to do this though, because my current car won't pass safety inspection (which is required in Canada for registration renewal) and the repairs are upwards of 4k.

Some advice if you're a first time carbuyer and you're going to a car dealer:

When they first drew me up, the total cost was 10k more than the price of the car, and I walked away without signing, taking a copy of the receipt with me, and researched all the **** they signed me up for and told me I would need. I then promptly had them remove a bunch of bull**** they had (particularly this thing called GAP protection which makes no sense with a down payment). I also had them remove this bs rust protection device that they put on the plan. When they had pitched it, it all sounded like it was part of the purchase and never brought up price, but then when I saw the itemized list and he was pressusing me to sign, I noped out of there. Monthly payments were going to be $250 before I got all the bull**** removed.

Good lord, it was just a joke.

See? Batty gets it.

Make sure there are no leans against the car, and get a new incense plate if it is used. You don't want to be held responsible for outstanding tickets connected to the license plate incurred by the previous owner. Look at the ground under the car for any oil, water, or gas leaks. When you're out for a test drive, let go of the steering wheel. If the car continues to go straight you're fine, but if it servers to either the left or right then you most likely need a front end alignment.

Ah man, I typed all that as an anti-joke to ruin yours and you didn't even understand. Get out.

Yeah, man. That might cause dents in the side of the car.
