reasons to buy a truck
 
Americans love their pickup trucks and this cannot be denied as they have moved to the top spot and are now the best selling vehicles in the United States. Trucks are not only loved, they are also trusted by their loyal drivers. 
 
If you find yourself feeling a little uneasy in your Hyundai Elantra, you might want to consider upping the ante and buying a pickup truck. If anything else, it would do a lot of good for your ego and sense of well-being. 
 
We aren't saying that driving a car is a bad thing, we are just saying that a pickup truck might be a better fit for you. Perhaps you are on the fence about owning a truck and you need to be convinced to do so. Groovy Automotive, your car repair service in Austin, offers you a few compelling reasons you should consider owning a pickup truck.
 

Trucks Have Come a Long Way

 
You may still hold the thought that a truck is a utilitarian vehicle that should be on a farm or owned by a construction worker. We will admit it, back in the day, trucks didn't come with all of the niceties that have now.
 
At one time, all you could get in a truck was a hard bench seat, hand-cranked windows and if you were lucky an AM radio. But as their popularity increased, so did the options available. Today, you can get heated leather seats, a backup camera and a stereo with Bluetooth capabilities. In fact, your truck could be just as luxurious as any BMW or Lexus. 
 

Travel on All Terrains

 
Trucks may have gone soft on the interiors, with plush carpeting and heated leather seats, but they are still tough and durable on the exterior. 
 
Pickup trucks are built to conquer rough terrain, which makes it the perfect vehicle if you are a weekend warrior who loves an adventure. No matter the road conditions, or the off-road conditions for that matter, a pickup truck is the proper vehicle you need to get to your destination. 
 

You Can Tow Stuff

 
You can grow up, but that doesn't mean you will ever outgrow the toys you love. The only thing that changes are the toys you love. 
 
Men’s toys include boats, jet skis and snowmobiles. All of the men’s toys have two things in common; they are fun to have and use and you need a pickup truck to haul them around. 
 
The only way you are going to get that huge boat to the lake in the summer is with a pickup truck. You can try to tow it with a car, but we wouldn't recommend it. 
 
And while you might not need a trailer to haul an ATV, you aren't getting it to the mountain trails in the trunk of your Elantra. 
 

Girls Dig Guys Who Own Trucks

 
Let’s not beat around the proverbial bush here; if you want to garner the attention of females, a truck is the way to go. We aren’t too sure as to what the attraction is, but we know you will get more smiles driving a truck than you will driving an Elantra.
 

You Want the Attention

 
When a sweet-looking truck passes by, everybody turns and looks. The same cannot be said about typical sedans. 
 
Few vehicles draw as much attention as the pickup truck. If you want to be noticed, owning a pickup truck is a great start.
 

Safety

 
Not only do modern trucks have all of the safety features you desire, like side impact protection and stability control, they are also big and sturdy and can take a hit better than a small car.
 
If you do decide to get a truck, congratulations. Bring it to Groovy Automotive for oil changes and checkups.
