10 Jobs, 10 cars (or trucks) Happy Labor Day
Kelley Blue Book is putting the Labor back in Labor Day, while stealing a bit from Dave Letterman, with its Top 10 Vehicles for Top 10 jobs.
It's actually a pretty fun list -- though I have to disagree with some of their decisions. My comments are in itallics:
Job: Bounty Hunter; Vehicle: F-150 Raptor.
Agree -- imagine the car/truck chase footage.
Job: Real Estate Agent: Vehicle: Lexus RX350.
Agree, though I can't recall if my new favorite real estate agent on HGTV, Mike Aubrey from Real Estate Intervention, drives one. (He's only my favorite because I don't think Suzanne Whang is actually an agent and you only see her walking on sidewalks.)
Job: Delivery man: Vehicle: Ford Transit Connect.
Fully agree. Read my review today here.
Job: Private Detective; Vehicle: Chevy Impala.
Disagree. I think you need something so bland no one can discribe it. My vote:The Toyota Camry. It's reliable, comfortable and comes with completely forgetable exterior.
Job: Courier; Vehicle: Toyota Yaris. Disagree: What if you have to ship a lamp? Or you want to achieve some enjoyment out of the drive. The Honda Fit gets my vote.
Job: Long Haul Salesman; Vehicle: Ford Fusion Hybrid.
Disagree: Sure the Fusion has eco-cred, but the VW Jetta TDI has better highway mileage, and that's really what someone on the long haul needs.
Job: Marketing; Vehicle: Smart for Two.
Disagree: Any other vehicle would be better. A bicycle is better. A sandwich board and some string is better. The guy on the corner dressed up like the Statue of Liberty is better.
Job: Paper Delivery: Vehicle: Honda Element.
Agreed: Additionally, at The Detroit News, you'd have a very nice vehicle to drive around the other four days a week.
Job: Outdoor tour guide; Vehicle: Jeep Wrangler.
Agree: A Hummer would upset some nature enthusiasts, who are plowing through open fields and mountain passes in the Jeep.
Job: Construction; Vehicle: Ford F-150.
Agree: Of course a Ram, Silverado or Sierra would do just as well. And the Tundra and Titan aren't far behind.

List of Cars
I just recently bought my second Ford expedition and find it to be a very good truck. We travel a lot and it is comfortable and holds just about anything we want to put in it.
List of Cars
I agree on having the Ford vehicles for heavy labor. These cars such as the Ford F-150 and itsFord F-150 parts are designed for off-roading. It is not a surprise that they made it into the list
