I just don't buy the argument for the pickup as anything but a lifestyle vehicle.
Me.

<---- The picture to the left needed more ground clearance than an Outback has, well maybe not, I have gone down roads that left a significant impression on the undercariage. If you look closely at the tailgate you will notice its missing quite a bit of paint. The rest of the bed is pretty beat up too.

Edit to add: I guess if you consider the fact that I like to go offroading (two tracking) hiking and camping away from other people and that being one of the primary reasons I got the truck and the Jeep then yeah it still falls under a lifestyle choice.
