Me and my brother do track days I had a V10 Diesel Touareg but he has a SRT 10 pick up the one with the Dodge Viper engine in it my god can that thing shift! Even pulling his car it is fast but the fuel consumption is horrific without a trailer never mind with one. Here we both are at Oulton Park the pick up is ideal for this type of thing lumping around spare wheels tools etc.

It's OK for the missus on the school run, I suppose.

This is a MAN's pickup truck:



Even comes with magnifying glass & tweezers in case one needs to pee!

I kind of agree some of the new ones are but they really are handy, mine gets loads of abuse and it just plugs away, you really need a use for one though! mines always in the fields, i throw the dog in and my guns and its happy days

Honda Ridgeline's got some very clever features;

Unibody construction for light weight & decent handling.

Lockable storage compartments, clever foldaway rear seat like a Jazz...

Never see one here though; petrol only sees to that.
