Lived in New England most of my life and never heard that term. Thanks for explaining.East Coast slang for a wild trip and fall. Usually involves windmilling arms and flailing legs!

Depends on where you live. Off roading is common in the west.The logic on pickup marketing escapes me at times. Seems that every truck ad you see seems to focus on its supposed off-road capabilities, how many people actually do the kind of recreational off roading they show in the ads? Nobody I know.
...I have no need or interest in a pickup with a back seat, the extended cab is all I'd ever need. Almost never carry more than one passenger....

Groceries, dogs and supplies is what we use that space for. We also use all of the 6' box our ranger has.I never carry more than one passenger and the area behind the seats is for my dog, groceries, tools, etc. so I'd love a "rear seats delete option" in an Access Cab 6' bed configuration. In fact removing the little fold down rear seats is the first thing I did when I bought my new 2004 Tundra. That mod made for a lot more space in the back.
I can't understand people beating their new $40-$60,000 trucks off road but I can see the marketing for it. Trucks are being used less as traditional haulers and more as everyday commuters (boring to marketers), and lifestyle vehicles (exciting to marketers), so they advertise them as such. Especially mid size trucks since Tacoma (the leader) has been doing so for a while now.
