Texas is known for its obsession with trucks. Eventhough the environment is wholy unsuited to the usage of trucks outside the obvious situations where hauling cargo is a necessity, Texans go on using it. Whitehorse too is a truck town – for completely different reasons. Four wheel drive is a practical neccessity in a territory where unpaved roads are a fact of life. I nearly got thrown off the road twice today when my SUV got bogged down in the mud – fortunately four wheel drive is a standard for cars and trucks up here.
Despite having a high medium income, Whitehorse is a haven for old truck fans. Somehow defying the conventional wisdom that the northern climate would destroy these vehicles, there are old trucks everywhere – even outnumbering the number of SUVs I saw on the road.
For those of you looking for a good deal, feel free to look around Whitehorse – they have plenty of these antiques for sale. In case you think this is an example of poor northerners, you couldn’t be further from the truth – Whitehorse has a mean household income of over $60k. Montreal, on the other hand, has a mean household income of $47k.
take us a pic of the truck you are driving so we can shoot at it
j/k I guess its like cuba up there 
instead of the U.S the wilderness has created an embargo on that town, so they have to probably up keep their old hunks of metal, hahah.
