About This Quiz

On the road less traveled in life, there are a lot of pitfalls, speedbumps, and detours. You can navigate them in many different ways, but the best way is in a truck, and we all know it, especially when you have the right person riding shotgun.  There's something liberating about driving a truck that you can't get in most cars. Sure there are sports cars that go fast and luxury cars that look amazing, but a truck? A really good truck? Oh, there's nothing like it — the power, the size, the look! It's a breed apart from the rest of the automobile industry. It's the perfect melding of form and function.  It's power and beauty all in one, all the things you want in the best driving experience you could have. And with the right person next to you, it's even better.

We're pretty sure that the kind of truck you want — the kind you really want that may not even exist in reality — says a lot about who you are and what you're looking for in life ... like maybe even the kind of guy you're into. It's all about desire, right? So tell us what type of truck you desire, and we'll tell you what kind of man you're into!
