In Need of a New Work Truck?

When it comes to needing a good work vehicle, it is really hard to top the pickup truck. In the rugged Texas environment, a pickup is really the end-all be-all, because most people that are working in Texas are working in the oilfield. Most oilfield sites are located a ways from any main roads. That means that you’re going to have to have a vehicle that is high off the ground and is able to traverse these back country roads. There are several obvious reasons a small compact car won’t safely make it down some of these rugged roads. That’s why the pickup is the best work truck, you’re able to get to and from a worksite safely. There are of course other reasons why the pickup is king as a work vehicle in Texas.

Plenty of Cargo Space

Another important aspect of the work truck is the amount of cargo space it has. You have a variety of tools and equipment that you or your crew need to carry around with you to get the job done. If you throw these tools and equipment in the back of an SUV, you’re going to totally destroy the interior that is not an option. The bed of a pickup truck is designed specifically to haul stuff and offers easy access to the dirty, grimy, and greasy tools that you need in your trade. And because of the suspension that is available on most pickup trucks, you’ll be able to haul a heavy load; definitely, a much heavier load than you would ever be able to haul with a car or SUV.

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company
