Yes, I agree that location has a big influence on what one encounters in
the way of transportation. As I have mentioned previously, we are in
the corner of several counties that have hilly terrain and lakes, so
trucks are very popular for their ground clearance and towing power. As
I eat breakfast each morning, I am watching traffic on one of two
favorite arteries into rural Moore County, home to the Jack Daniels
distillery, and I would estimate that half of the vehicles are trucks.
But, I also see an occasional Jaguar, BMW and Land Cruiser, and a lot of
various types of Jeeps.

I read this week that the American auto makers made their money this
year with increased truck sales. This is evident in the fast food
parking lot where I went to eat on Friday night. After a day of rain,
the skies are smiling once more.

Our travels regularly take us into rural and back country areas. There
are lots of Priuses, Smart Cars, Fiat 500s, etc. in our urban area.
Out in the woods, they are almost entirely replaced by trucks. I'm
sure I saw more long wheelbase, crew cab, four wheel drive trucks with
AT tires and step bars to climb in just while eating breakfast in
Garberville than I could see in a week at home.
