Pickup Trucks News, Videos, and Information

Whether you are hauling for work or play, many people turn to pickup trucks to transport their stuff. Available in a range of sizes, from small, light duty to extended cab heavy duty, pickup trucks have an enclosed cab and an open cargo area with low sides and tailgate. A regular cab has a single row of seats and a single set of doors, one on each side. Extended or super cab pickups add an extra space behind the main seat, sometimes including small seats. A crew cab, or double cab, seats five or six and has four full-sized, front-hinged doors. The cargo bed can vary in size according to whether the vehicle is optimized for cargo utility or passenger comfort. Cargo beds are normally found in two styles: step-side or fleet-side. A step-side bed has fenders which extend on the outside of the cargo area. A fleet-side bed has wheel-wells inside the bed. A pickup with four rear wheels instead of two is called a "dually", which is able to carry much more weight over the rear axle and is often used for carrying heavy loads, campers, or supporting fifth-wheel trailers. Popular manufacturers include Chevy, Dodge, Ford, GMC, International, Mercury, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ram and Toyota.
