Similar to SUV's, Pickup trucks have the horsepower and torque to handle rough terrain, but have the added function of handling a variety of loads. While SUV's can be considered capable, the distinct characteristic of the pickup vis-a-vis SUV's is the bed, which is container behind the vehicle that is built for carrying stuff much like its big brother trucks, is geared more towards handling objects of diverse size and shape. This is completely different compared to SUV's, whose size and bulk is more passenger inclined.

Keeping the balance of performance and utility is always a main concern for the average pickup truck owner. It's a lot different than cars in that a car owner only has to worry about the car running in tip-top shape and maintenance. Pickup trucks having the added purpose of hauling cargo makes them ideal for small businesses and even outdoor enthusiasts, but also adds a bit more in terms of responsibility.
Interior-wise, things to look out for is obviously the engine and the parts that make it run efficiently. Anything from spark plugs, ignition coils, gaskets, pistons and the various wirings are possible culprits for a decrease in horsepower. Say, that while everything looks all right, including all the essentials perhaps the wirings are the problem.
