Imperative

Well, maybe not number one.....but it is perhaps in the top ten. Having a pick-up certainly makes things easier...and easier to clean...when hunting and fishing and camping and towing boats up muddy ramps and training dogs. As a corollary, having easy to wash seat covers and vinyl floors in the cab of said truck makes things really easy to clean. When your muddy retriever jumps in after a morning in the blinds...you end up with mud in places you never thought possible...like in the console...or on the back or the rear view mirror.
