Get a notebook. The first step in choosing the right vehicle type is accurately assessing the vehicle's primary purpose. The mother of an active family probably will look at minivans or sport utility vehicles because of their gear and people-hauling capabilities. Conversely she might contemplate purchasing a station wagon. Though they are not nearly as popular today as sport utility vehicles or even minivans, they can be acquired for a good price because most used-car buyers don't want them.
Station wagons haul crowds and carry loads of stuff too.
However, consider the daily or common activities the pickup will need to support. Driving a pickup can make a woman feel like the queen of the road, but if one of her subjects is a young niece needing a ride to daycare on a regular basis, a vehicle without a back seat is not a good choice. Even if it doesn't, the front passenger seat of any vehicle is a poor location for small children and infants. Think seriously about who will be riding in the vehicle as well as driving it before making a purchase. It's really fun to look at all those different cars and trucks.
