About This Quiz

Anyone who loves trucks knows that no two vehicles are built the same way. This obvious fact makes it only natural that your personality would pick up on the traits trucks throw off, leaving you to like one of them more than the other. After we learn about your qualities, the way you drive and about your truck dreams, the truck that gets you all revved up will show up in your results.

From the tough exterior of the F-150 to the compact and efficient size of the Avalanche, there's a truck out there that matches everyone's needs. As we roll through the questions, we're going to go ahead and assume that you already know which truck suits you best. We simply want to see if we can figure it out based upon the things you choose to push in the clutch and stick into gear.

When you close your eyes and see yourself sitting behind the wheel, which one is it? You don't need to tell us anything other than your answers, and we'll pick up on the truck that makes you ogle dealership lots like a hungry cat looking at a goldfish. Will we know how you really want to roll?
