> A two seat pickup is a niche vehicle, about as useful for carrying a family around as a two seat sports car.

Not to country folk—kids ride in the bed. Or crammed in the middle if there aren't too many of them and they're still fairly small and you're lucky enough to still have a bench seat.

Not legally (in many states).
Never stopped country folk before. See also: shooting stop signs.

Doesn't work for suburbanites with trucks, though.

Lay down in the bed and nobody will see.
Have you ever been in the back of a pickup? This would be incredibly uncomfortable at best and is likely to cause a concussion or worse.
I have. I had a pillow. Went about 45 miles. I don't recommend it.

Edit: The ride really wasn't so bad, but it wasn't exactly comfortable, and it was a bit awkward. I recommend riding in a factory installed seat with a seat belt. For safety.

Hasn't been my experience. Rural or not, everyone I know has a crew cab now. Supercabs are not uncommon, but the minority for sure, and single cabs are so rare that they catch your eye. Mostly because the fundamental design of modern trucks was clearly not intended for a single cab, so it looks chopped.
Damn, that changed fast.
