LOL, well I can't remember the last time I saw any real horns on the front of a pickup, but I might just not notice anymore.
A lot of the trucks around here nowadays are very frou-frou with the fancy paint-to-match tonneau covers that rarely ever get used for more than opening them up slightly to throw some groceries into (like a trunk, ahem). Maybe to toss a few cases of Natty Light, Lone Star, or Busch into.
Then again, a lot of people have large yards when you get out far enough, to the country area where I live far NW of Houston, and unlike the Houston Suburbanite wanna-be tough guys with their Princess Pickups, people around here actually USE their trucks for what they were designed for.
