About This Quiz

Pickup trucks have been around since nearly the beginning of the automotive industry. Like all great things from history, they've changed and evolved with each new advancement in technology, performance and safety. From the Ford F-150 to the Jeep Gladiator to the history-making Teslas Cybertruck, the remarkable, unique and powerful trucks we have today span the globe and perform specialized and universal tasks we can all appreciate, and they never stop changing! 

Whether you're interested in spending a weekend out in the sunshine, building a log cabin in the wilderness, or hanging out downtown, the truck you pick to take you there can say more about who you are and what you care about than it might seem. Some trucks are suitable for towing, others for heading off the beaten path, and some for moving out of the dorm on the same day as everyone else in the busy city. 

Take a peek below to delve into the history of the pickup truck and to look more deeply into your self for answers to the questions of what makes you tick and what kind of friend you are to the people you love most.
