Am I correct that pick-up trucks are generally more reliable than cars? My partner is Cambodian and when we visit the country, together with Thailand, you see pick-up trucks everywhere. They are used by farmers, families and all types of tradespeople. You would not believe the loads they carry. I have seen pick up trucks carry well over a ton of cargo, maybe two tons. As for reliability they seem to go on for ever. Are they more reliable or am I fooling myself?
