Why is this work an American Icon?:

The pickup truck is the definitive American symbol: hard working, useful, available in endless varieties across the spectrum. A bit brash, a bit unapologetic, steadfast, and reliable. You'll find them on farms and construction sites, in town and at fancy valet stands. Versatility, thy name is F150.

First name:

Toby
