Top Ten Reasons to buy a Pickup Truck
A pickup truck is a light truck with an enclosed cab and an open body with low sides and tailgate. The word pickup was first used to refer to a truck used to pick up light load like lumber and feed and deliver it to its destination and the definition is still apt to this day. Different worldwide branches of Jim Autos may sell a variety of vehicles but all our branches and offices be they in Thailand, Singapore, Dubai, England United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia or United States always sell pickup trucks and SUVs. It is pickup trucks and SUVs that have contributed most to our good name and we are known worldwide for being the pickup truck guys.
