I'm from Texas, we all drive trucks. I own several. Ya gotta have a vehicle that can pull a gooseneck horse trailer, haul firewood, make it down a dirt road in the rain while pulling a trailer without getting stuck and still keep the family comfortable while pulling your fifth wheel travel trailer out of town for a weekend get away. I'm still kinda shocked there's so many people with little cars here. I was here for nearly two weeks before I saw my first Ford SuperCrew. From conversations I've had with the locals and my neighbors (BTW very nice people), the majority of people here are "city slickers". Nobody cuts their own firewood, no hunting leases, no four wheelin', no horses/cattle... I really thought it was gonna be the exact opposite since there's so much open country up here.
