yep. But practicality will win you over longterm if you own a pickup. Like when going to manila with several people on board and you know you cant put your stuff in the bed coz you dont want them stolen while queuing in traffic, its doubly hard to park now with pickup trucks esp in places with congested parking not to mention difficulty in maneuvering it owing to its length, prices of its tire set are much expensive compared to sedans and MPV's/AUV's, the bed is not much used maximally per annual calendar, etc..

These day to day duties can be carried out by AUV's or with the L300 FB probably with more grace esp during rainy season....

but of course, its a different story if you use your pickup for farming, hauling, delivery, etc

to each his own at the end of the day....
