Brett, I think it is a matter of "Fashion".Pickups tend to be used by people who pretend to be rugged, off-road, muscular he-men. The pick-up tends to be a fashion statement.They are expensive to buy and run, farmers tend to watch the pennies, why buy a pickup AND a tractor? Some workers do use them, generally if they have a job which requires them to carry tools and materials, for long distances between jobs. Remember, our country is a lot smaller than yours, we dont have gravel roads and a panel van is cheaper and more secure. Hope that sort of puts some light on the question. I have the Land Rover Discovery to pull my trailer caravan. Although I live in the heart of the English countryside, almost all of my driving could be done in the smallest of Japanese saloon cars at any time of the year.I can be at either end of the country in about 9 hours, with paved roads all the way.Phil
