I drive a truck because it's the vehicle my mother always wanted and she finally got one before she passed.

When we lived in the country we got tired of using a trailer to move everything and was using the bed more often.

Edit: also, there are cars where I have to put my head through the moon roof if I sit in front and lay down if I'm in the back. I know not every car is like that, but I've never been as comfortable in a car like I am a truck.

And and, I got the highway version instead of more towards off roading so I get like 30 mpg on the highway.
