These aren't popular here

It is true, pick-up trucks aren't. Where I live, people prefer MPVs or SUV's but not pick-ups. Don't ask me why but I actually find them useful. Especially when you are moving to a new house. Furthermore, your leather seats or cushions won't get dirtied so easily either if you have to move your potted plants for example. With a pick-up, you can easily change the truck bed liner.
