About This Quiz

Your dog might not be able to reach the gas pedal, but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't look great behind the wheel of a brand new truck! Once you tell us all about your favorite furry friend, we will match their traits up to the truck they should be driving — if, of course, they could drive. Will you agree with the ride we think your dog should own?

Every truck on the market has a different kind of human appeal. For the purposes of this quiz, we are going to assume that your dog has the human desire to be a truck owner. Whether your dog is built as tough as an F-150 or as stylish and efficient as a Nissan Frontier, the answers you provide will let us know which truck suits them best.

Unless you tell your dog that you are going to the vet, we are going to assume that your pooch likes going for a ride. Now, we get to picture them tooling around town in their very own truck. Will you agree with the truck we choose for your dog, or will we fail to get to know your dog as well as you do? If you're ready to roll, get going!
