So who sits in the middle??

On the ranch, the REAL cowboy/girl chose to sit in the middle so that they didn't have to get out and open the gates.
Yote
pickup with 2 people, the passenger opens AND shuts the gate. pickup with 3 people, the person riding shotgun does the deed, with someone riding in the bed, THAT dude does the work!!! Unless they are from Ca., then all logic is screwed!!
