I agree with everything said so far and will throw in one more reason... They are pretty much the do anything vehicle.

They are excellent track vehicles and are usually the fastest class, they can be great bashers cuz they are tough as nails and really take punishment like nothing else, they can run off road in the dirt, in the grass, jump well, are fast, handle well all around, can be set up to run well on the street and parking lots as well with very little effort. Just about the only thing they dont excel at is the really heavy off road rough terrain that only a monster truck will deal with.

In a nutshell they are very versatile and if you are looking for a second vehicle and already have a truck I would recommend one.
