Vehicle purchase/registration question

I've been shopping around to buy a used vehicle. I would prefer a full size pickup truck (think Ford F-150, GMC, etc). I've been told by a few folks that you can only get a truck registered if you have a business. Can anyone verify this? It seems kind of strange, but we are in Qatar!

DaRuDe, nosheen,

I think you're confused about the meaning of "Pickup Truck" in American English.

It's not a "Truck"

For anyone that cares to know, the answer to my original question is that a private individual can own and register a pickup truck in thier name.....as I now have one in my name.
