Indeed, you can roll your cargo on and off like a sane person! And when you back up to a loading dock, you can close the air pillows so you don't waste a bunch of heat from the ware house.

Thats just a dumpy little van with box on the back. This is what a truck looks like.

We don't back up to warehouse docs. We haul things like 4 wheelers and gravel. Also a pickup truck doesn't blow into the ditch with every puff of wind.

I seem to recall the biggest gripe people had about American pickups are the large thirsty engines. Well that is changing.
