\nAlthough pickups aren\u2019t for everyone, they can be the best choice in some situations.<\/p>\n
With their large cargo capacity, they\u2019re the perfect vehicle for construction workers. You\u2019ll also find them on farms, where they\u2019re used for towing and transporting goods. But even for the average person, they\u2019re more than just a way to haul things around.<\/p>\n
They come in very handy for camping, which has seen a resurgence in Qu\u00e9bec. Many people have moved away from ground tents and opted for the comfort of bigger and bigger trailers. And some of these homes on wheels need a truck to tow them. Water recreation activities like boating, and winter activities like snowmobiling also require the cargo capacity of a truck. These pastimes have made pickups very popular.<\/p>\n
Quebecers in particular appreciate pickups because they can stand up to our harsh winters. When snow storms hit, drivers can count on their automatic or manual four-wheel drive for a sense of security and reliability.<\/p>\n
And lastly, many people want to drive a truck just for the fun of it. They\u2019re gaining ground across North America. What people like about pickups:<\/p>\n
Even with all these advantages, the major drawback of pickup trucks is their large carbon footprint. While fuel consumption can be very high when driving in the city, on the highway they burn about the same amount of gas as an SUV or a sports car. In recent years, auto manufacturers have worked on engine performance to reduce fuel consumption. There are also more and more hybrid and electric models of pickup trucks these days.<\/p>\n
And last but not least, pickup trucks are built to last. It\u2019s not uncommon to see trucks with over 200,000 km that still have plenty of years left.
