Every time someone finds out I drive a truck, they say, "You don't strike me as a truck guy." And I don't think they mean this in a good way. =) So then I laugh and crush their car as I drive away. (j/k) But I drove a Honda Civic for the past 10 years, which was brought about by a) the guilt a church planter faces for driving anything nice, and b) for driving anything that would obligate me to pull the church trailer too. =) Now that I'm laity, it's time to get my monster on.
Thanks for crushing my car. How am I going to drive it now?

So what kind of truck? I have an 88 S-10 X-cab 4x4, which isn't quite the F-250 you have pictured, but it has done me fine over the years.

We definitely are different... I figure a church planter should drive a cool car! I just got a '79 Corvette! :)
I 'almost' got a Tundra, but also didn't want to steal the joy of carrying the trailer from anyone else!

Oh, I'm not surprised at all! I know exactly why you're a truck guy =) In fact, there is an F-150 almost exactly like the one in your pic in my brother's driveway at this very minute. He has driven a truck for a demo for 20 years. I've rarely seen him in a car.
BTW, have you heard the song "Every Girl's Crazy 'Bout a Pick-up Man?" (I think that's the title). It's hilarious, but some guys I know are just about that passionate about their trucks. I'll bet your little boys think that your truck is cool. Enjoy!

you can take the boy out of Ohio, but not the Ohio out of the boy. =)
