When fall rolls into Michigan, not only do the days of the football season begin, they also involve cool mornings, changing leaves, weekend adventures, and the ever popular tradition of jumping into the car for a Saturday or Sunday game.

Whether you're heading out with your college team or high school rivals, or you and your friends are meeting up to watch your favorite squad, football season is all about time spent together with a pickup truck by your side.

For Michigan drivers, the correlation between trucks and football seems to be perfectly aligned. Just picture the joy of pulling up to the gathering with a truck bed full of everything you need for the tailgate.

More Space for the Goodness of the Game Day Gathering

Tailgating can be a bit of a slippery slope. One minute you're thinking, "Hey, just bring a cooler and a couple of chairs," and the next thing you know, you've got a grill, a canopy, a folding table, some games, blankets, speakers, food, and tons of drinks and snacks. That's where a pickup can really come in handy.

The pickup bed can provide a home for heavier objects that might be harder to get in the back seat or in the truck bed if you were to bring them inside. Simply lay out what you need on the pickup bed and you're all set.

A truck can also be a great way to take those weekend trips up and down Michigan to check out the game. Whether you're going to a game or you're visiting a friend, a little extra room in the back seat or the truck bed can help you get the goods in the door for the tailgate or for your weekend adventure.

Find a Truck That Suits Your Needs

Of course there is no right or wrong when it comes to the size of your football truck. Depending on how you use your truck on a daily basis, you may find that a midsize pickup would best suit your needs.

A midsize pickup, like a Toyota Tacoma or a GMC Canyon, can give the driver a good-sized bed without having to drive a larger truck. If you're looking for something that can serve double duty, a midsize truck can get you from point A to point B without breaking a sweat while still being able to carry the necessities for a tailgate.

On the other hand, if your crew is more of a gear-heavy type of gathering or you just need the extra room of a full size truck, then a Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500 or Ram 1500 would be a good fit for you. Monster Motors' current truck inventory has a variety of both full-size and midsize pickups.

The dealership's current listings include Ford F-150s, Chevrolet Silverado 1500s, Ram 1500s, GMC Sierra 1500s, GMC Canyons and Toyota Tacomas, giving Michigan drivers a variety of options to choose from Monster Motors

From Saturday Tailgates to Monday Mornings

One of the best things about owning a pickup truck is the fact that it's not just a football truck. While you can definitely take it to a tailgate or a game, a pickup can be used every other day of the year.

The same truck you drive to your Jackson job in the morning can be used to carry the necessities to your Saturday tailgate.

This versatility is what makes pickups such a good option for Michigan drivers. Whether it's a weekday or the weekend, a pickup can be a part of your day-to-day life as well as be the co-star of your game day gathering.

Just as a midsize truck like the Tacoma or Canyon would fit the needs of some drivers who only need a little extra space, a full-size F-150, Silverado 1500, Sierra 1500 or Ram 1500 would fit the needs of a driver who has more space needs.

There's no right or wrong when it comes to the size of the perfect football truck. After all, it should be the perfect truck for how you spend your time.

A Michigan Football Tradition on Four Wheels

Football culture isn't just about the game itself. It's about the conversations in the parking lot, the food coming off the grill, the friends who get there early, the families who come together, and the excitement that builds up before kickoff.

A pickup truck is a perfect accessory because the bed can come full of the necessities like the grill and the cooler. The tailgate can be your other seat and the cab can bring everyone along for the ride. Afterward, it all can be packed up and put back in the bed for the drive home.

For Michigan football fans, the fall weekends can include a ton of miles, a ton of gear and a ton of reasons to enjoy having a versatile vehicle. A truck can be just as useful on a Tuesday afternoon as it is outside a stadium on a Saturday.
