   Episode 318: You DO NOT need a Large Truck

   The American Auto Body industry has you convinced that a F-150, Chevy 1500 or any other similarly made large truck is an absolute necessity. THEY ARE NOT! Most people need a mid sized suv or truck, especially if they live in the north eastern United States. Why? Mid Sized vehicles are often not breaking the bank and fit within the average persons financial situation, they're capable of; pulling boats, RV's and average Home Depot Hauls., and they can handle extreme weather just as well (if not better) than the bigger trucks. What do you think? Am I right or am I missing out on what bigger vehicles have to offer?
