Well, I've never really put my truck to any sort of test, but when I think of it:
I like the functionality of my truck. When you know that someone wants to go to the movies, then someone else calls them and wants to do something. Well, I got four-doors so hop on in. Then you just go out driving after the movie, and some of your friends give you a call. They're out on the muddy mile, and want you to join them. When you get there, guess what... they're stuck. Back up to them and pull them out. Later on you drive down town after cleaning it up, and the ladies look at you and give your truck that little look.
As compared to:
Your buddy calls you up asking you to do something. He pulls up in his little Rustang. Yea, it has a nice tone to it, and looks pretty sharp. A couple more friends call, but you only can fit so many people comfortably in that little cab of the car. Afterwards when some other friends call, he has to pass going mudding, because his car can't make it. Down the streets girls will look, but it won't have the same effect as the truck.

What makes me proud is when I see people almost breaking their neck to check it out. That makes me smile.

Everytime I go by a construction site or where there's a few guys doing something together, they always look because the rumble of the magnaflow is the cream of the pants. I mean of the crop....lol

Hmm, well the main reason I bought the truck was because I have a baby on the way and didn't feel safe with my prego wife riding around in that little plastic box, especially the way I drove it. Not to mention, I wanted a V8 that could do burnouts . Now, I have safety, V8 power, and RWD. It just needs some long tube headers, x-pip, 3 in. piping, high flow cats, a couple o' big ol' cherry bomb glass packs or extremes, and a couple chrome angle cut exhaust tips angled to the sides.

I love my truck just for the reason that all of my freinds that drive tuner cars have to call me to come tow their broke down imports to the shop to have them worked on. It is alwys highlight of the mechanic's day when he says an american made truck come rumbling down the road towing a little honda behind it (with ease). ITS GREAT!
