Pickup trucks are used by people who need to carry or tow large items such as wood, appliances, trees, other pickup trucks, cars, horses, cows (though towing livestock required a special type of trailer) lumbar, farm tractors, farming equipment, construction equipment, small construction machinery and the list could go on and on. The Ford F-350 Super Duty (when properly equipped) can tow around 16000lbs. Pickup trucks are also quite good off-road, some are even better than their SUV counterparts. The 2005-Onward Dodge Power Wagon 2500 pickup (a heavy duty off-road version of the Dodge Ram 2500 pickup) features a factory installed Warn® winch seamlessly integrated into the front bumper, and a electronically disconnecting front sway-bar. It was crowned Pickup Truck Of The Year as well as 2005 Four Wheeler Of The Year.

Here is a picture of the 2005 Dodge Power Wagon 2500 towing another pickup.


I hope that answers your question as to what we use them for.
