Does anyone store their trucks for the winter? If so what winter beater do you drive?

A friend has a KIA Sportage for nearly 15 years and him being the worst and I mean the worst I've ever known person to care for anything he owns, he neglected that car even on regular maintenance and that thing was called by us, friends, "the tank" for the toughness and being always packed to the roof with his work tools.
On a good day he could find space on the back to remove something on the seat and make room for a passenger. Anyway that car is the epitome of reliability! It needs a new engine gasket and as lazy as he is, he has it parked in the garage and is driving his Mercedes R350 with worn out all-season tires these winter days. WTH?

KIA and Hyundai have evolved a lot in quality in the past 20 years.

As for my 150 it is the main thing that makes me enjoy Winter without going nuts!

My F150 is the winter DD, with occasional utility use the rest of the year. My ATS-V Coupe is the DD when the truck isn't used.

Then we slap snow tires on the ATS-V and my wife uses it for her winter beater. That car is actually great in the winter...as long as the snow isn't deep!
