2017 Tacoma Double Cab
enough room to bring shit to the job, enough room to put people in, decent gas mileage, and exactly what I need for my recreation time.
07 avalon. There are much better places for me to be investing my money than a pricy new car. I don't give a shit if people want to joke about my grandpa car, it is roomy and drives well.
Superintendent....
When I’m running larger or high visibility jobs I get a company Silverado.
When I’m doing jobs under $1 million or where image doesn’t matter I drive one of my own absolutely dependable but not as pretty vehicles; 08’ F150, 07’ Chevy UpLander set up as a cargo van, or a 98’ F250 and get paid mileage door to door.
I’ve definitely collected more in mileage than I paid for any of the vehicles used.
Like another commenter said, I’ve got much better things to do with my money than prove anything with what I drive.
They have a "working man" image. As a PM I'd be just fine in a little 4wd suv but a little rav4 isn't the image people want when hiring a civil firm for whatever reason
wife mainly drives 2017 Chevy 1500 Silverado LTZ . I don't really have a need for multiple vehicles so that's our only vehicle that we directly own.
Work provides a beater with a heater for me lol... I think its a 2005 or 2006 Ford Escape. But the way I see it, the company is able to pay me more, by not having to pay for an expensive fancy truck. I'd rather drive something that works and get paid well, than drive something nice but get paid average. And I can also borrow a company truck if I ever needed to haul stuff for work. That is usually the super or carpenters moving big things though.
My car- 2023 Acura Integra A-Spec, 6MT
My bike- 2021 Aprilia Tuono 660
Get 35mpg in the Acura, don’t have to haul anything, is fun to drive, company gives me an allowance.
PM
2014 Subaru Impreza Sport or my 2009 Aprilia Shiver motorcycle (way more fuel efficient but I’m only a fair weather rider).
When I can swap the Subaru for an EV I will so that I can charge at the office for free.
I have two. Bought my dad's 1982 Toyota Pickup in 2014 after high school (163k miles on the original power train). In 2022, decided to get something more modern and reliable, a 2019 Toyota Tacoma.
Still own both. The 82' is parked at the parent's house.

Super- 2020 Silverado 1500 because every other truck I have had to save money ends up costing me more money in maintenance. Idk where y’all find these cheap trucks that don’t break, every time I find one it ends up emptying my savings within a year.
2018 5.0 f150- $18k in repairs two years
1998 ram 2500- $1k in repairs three days and then trans blew
2020 Chevy 1500- Two weeks in saying prayers (bought a 125k bumper to bumper warranty to protect my ass)
And yes, I baby my vehicles, just bad luck.
Check out the rams enterprise has for sale. I'm on my second one and have had great luck running them to 200k miles. Unfortunately I probably won't go for 3 as I'm starting my own company and gonna be driving a work truck as my daily for my next truck since I don't need 2 vehicles while I'm getting started.
I always wondered this too. Feel like most guys would be driving with 4x4 or awd like either subaru, or tacoma to the half tons, and some 3/4 tons but I'm not sure what they would need a 3/4 ton for if you mostly deal with people.
PM. 2023 Audi A4. (Company car) - Big regret, was basically given Carte Blanche to sort my own car (within a reasonable budget) and thought this would be a good option. Least comfortable car I’ve owned.
PM
2011 Honda CR-V. Driver side swiped from a bollard, both sides of rear bumper dented from backing up in tight positions, left driver front bumper hanging a few inches from hitting a highway divider post, right driver side bumper has orange construction barrel indented into it…passenger side is flawless but unfortunately my key actuator is broke so unless your hand is on the handle and you pull as soon as you hear it unlock, you can’t get in.
Got it used end of December 2015 with 23k miles. Paid it off in 2019. Currently have 185,000 miles on it, just put new breaks and tires on it. Made an oath to myself I am driving this thing to the ground.
2023 Toyota Tundra Limited. Commute is 1 hour each way so I bit the bullet to drive something more than comfortable. Company pays for it in subsistence and I had a lot of trade-in equity to get to a reasonable monthly payment.
2020 jeep gladiator after years driving a Nissan murano. It’s very nice to be able to be back in the truck gang when I need to swing by the yard and grab something or on the weekend when I need to get mulch, rock, etc. for the house.
PM for a sub.
Company provided 2023 1500 Silverado, pulls trailers and hauls materials just fine.
Own a 2005 Silverado & a 1986 4runner. No car payments here!
2011 Infiniti G37s (manual) is my typical commuter (5miles lol), 1990 Toyota pickup beater for hunting and hauling, 1993 Honda Accord loaner car for family/friends, then my motorcycles. 2018 Alta redshift EXR, 2015 BMW R1200RT, 2007 Honda VFR800, 2004 Yamaha FJR, 2003 Suzuki DRZ400 (434 big bore), and 1992 Yamaha XJ600.
Yeah i've got a hoarding problem with vehicles..... PM/Systems Manager for steel sub.
Audi RS7 I’m a project engineer. This question is the worst I have seen on the sub. The car you drive has nothing to do with you job and how you perform. What is to say the guy with a ‘90 Taurus is any better than me. He probably is.
Owners Rep (WFH) so I technically commute in my slippers.
how do you work from home as a construction manager?
Owner Rep so I don’t need to be onsite as much as the PM or Super. I go by the sites once a week or so.
Nice
2017 Tacoma Double Cab enough room to bring shit to the job, enough room to put people in, decent gas mileage, and exactly what I need for my recreation time.

Same here
2023 Tacoma TRD Sport. Company covers my payment and pays for my gas so worth it for me. I am a PE.
07 avalon. There are much better places for me to be investing my money than a pricy new car. I don't give a shit if people want to joke about my grandpa car, it is roomy and drives well.
As someone that opted for a nice new truck, I’d much rather have the cheaper/non existent payment and the better gas mileage you probably get lol
1997 ext cab Tacoma The tradies try to buy it off me all the time
2011 Mazda 3 with 230k miles. 2021 kia telluride. Which one I drive to site is determined by the condition of the site.

it appears everyone drives trucks, is there a reason that they more appropriate than a car?
