Ive got a Mazda BT50 2.5Td, you know one of those lifestyle pickups, except its not actualy that bad, ive just had four new mich's put on to replave the two original michelins on the back and the BF Goodrich's on the front, a nice new set of rubber makes all the difference, i have a spare set of rims with studded snow tyres for pulling the lorries during the winter if they get stuck too.

I guess you and my neighbour, with his Mitsubishi L200 Animal, are among the 1% of owners who use them for their intended purpose.
Funnily, after spending time in Oz I don't call them pickups any more. They're Utes (short for Utility Vehicle)...

Re: Tyres
yeah it does get used, the reason i had it over a car is because i only pay £10 a month company car tax and i chose this one as it is the only pickup in its class that will carry 1 tonne on a euro pallet in the back and it had the best spread of torque, the animal for instance is akin to the short stroke XUD's, lots of torque over a small space high in the rev range, the mazda and ford give 330nm but the mazda is cheaper as its not garnished with chrome this and side step that, economy is good too, i get about 28mpg on average over here, anyway, did smeone mention a Citroen..............lol
