I have owned three three-wheel pickups. Here's what they have that cars don't have. Driving a three-wheel pickup, one feels the wind and gets spattered by the rain -- and one smells the restaurants as one drives by. One can hear the gears churning, and the piston pounding, and feel the bumps on the road. In short, one feels alive! One can talk to passers-by without winding the window down. Young women in Porsches and Ferraris turn their heads to look at one's cute vehicle. One doesn’t need to slump down into the seat -- one can just slip in and slip out. It’s easy to lift the vehicle out of the mud, and one can crank-start it if the battery goes flat. One pays a third for petrol. It will carry half a ton. It has a tiny turning radius. One can slip through narrow gaps on roads and pavements -- and park it almost anywhere. And with four reverse gears, it will beat a car hands down in reverse!
