About This Quiz

The best thing about trucks is that there are a lot of them. Like, a whole lot. Since the auto industry first got rolling back in the day there have been literally thousands of trucks rolled out around the world. Sure, some of them were probably best left on the design room floor, but there have definitely been a few standouts over the years. These are the vehicles that actually make you into a truck person, the reason why you look at a car and think, "No, not good enough." Some trucks are just an incredible mix of form and function. They look amazing and they get the job done head and shoulders above the competition. And if you're a true truck person you can appreciate the value of all kinds of different models. But there's still that one, right?

It's almost impossible to not have a favorite truck if you like them even a little bit. Maybe it was your first truck, the one you saw that got you interested in the first place. Or maybe it was one you discovered later that sealed the deal for you. Whatever it is, we know you have a favorite and we're even going to guess what it is. Take the quiz and see for yourself!
