About This Quiz

Pickup trucks are one of the most beloved vehicles in the world. In Australia, people race their peculiar "Ute" variants, some built for speed to the point of not being usable as pickups. In some parts of the world, pickups are little more than tools, and only the hardiest trucks survive. In Texas, truck makers release special "Texas" editions of their trucks, with luxury, performance and style features unlike any trucks in the world. Then there is the run of the mill truck anyone can buy at a local dealership. With so many trucks out there, how can you know which one is right for you? No one buys vehicles their their heads; they choose their vehicles with their hearts.

This brings us to the much more existential question of what lies in your heart. Cracking this mystery is something humanity struggles with even today, after preoccupation with the subject for thousands of years. Not to worry. We have come up with a way of distilling your inmost essence into a data set. While that may sound dry, we can compare this to the design language, features, luxury and performance of the world's pickup trucks, past and present, and determine which one matches your personality. Ready to go? Take the quiz!
