About This Quiz

There's no point in beating around the bush! It's a well-known fact that most men consider their trucks a member of their families. Because of this close relationship, we think it will be easy to figure out which type of guy you go out with. You have your very own taste in trucks, and it's certain to say something about your taste in men. After all, they wouldn't go out with you if you didn't have such amazing tastes! 

If your date rolled up with a 26-inch lift kit and a smokestack on his Ford F-450, would you grab a step ladder and hop right in? Or would you disappear into the nearest doorway and delete his number from your phone? Throughout this quiz, you'll get the chance to choose the features you like, the trucks you appreciate, and maybe a drivetrain or two. By the time we can picture your dream truck sitting in your garage, we'll know the kind of guy you like to wine and dine.

He might not be the Titan type, but he could be a true southern gentleman. Describe the things you consider the best on the dealership lot, and we'll do all the heavy lifting. Your dating type should echo back like a Canyon. Or will it?
