A pickup truck is a light but powerful truck that was originally built to haul heavy construction material. People also use it to move luggage, especially when they are moving between homes. A pickup truck is a sturdy vehicle with bed-space to carry goods, and walls of strong metal sheets on its two sides. The rear side is fitted with a gate for ease of loading and unloading.

Pickup trucks come in different types and sizes, and run on gasoline. The bigger, or full-sized, pickups are used to carry larger and heavier cargos. They can also haul trailers and are fitted with double tires at the rear wheels.

There are many automotive companies that manufacture pickup trucks. Some of the popular companies are Volvo, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, DAF, CF, Nissan, and Iveco, to name a few. Used pickup trucks are also freely available. Some Japanese companies sell used pickup trucks online. This is because the cost of maintenance and repair of the old vehicles is uneconomical in Japan. They accept payment in Japanese Yen only.

Though the primary function of a pickup truck is to haul cargo, the manufacturing companies have introduced innovative features in their models to get a competitive edge over each other. If you are out to buy a pickup truck, there is a big market that offers a wide spectrum and variety of choices. You can choose from a basic utility truck to a multifeatured vehicle fitted with luxury options that can compete even with the best luxury cars. They can be fitted with accessories to make the drive comfortable. Compared to cars, they also have the luxury of extra space. This makes a long journey extremely comfortable.
