About This Quiz

Sports and trucks: two things that bind America together. America has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to truck choices and configurations, and a plethora of professional sports we enjoy. 

From Mixed Martial Arts to boxing to hockey, the United States has dozens of sports for us to enjoy. Every game has its unique appeal and audience. Likewise, American trucks have a unique appeal. 

American pickups are arguably much the same as each other, but each one has a unique strength or feature that sets it apart. Truck brand loyalty runs as strong in this country as allegiance to a sports team, or even family. Beyond brand, there are specific features and bits of automotive tech that say a lot about you and your tastes. Together, they paint a picture.

From these parallel loyalties can be drawn certain data nexuses that point both ways. From the way you choose, configure, and spec up your dream truck we can determine what your favorite sport is, and why it appeals to you. All we need to do this is a few carefully chosen data points.

So take this quiz, design your platonic ideal of a pickup truck, and we'll guess your favorite sport with 100% accuracy.
