Hey guys, I've been lurking/studying these types of forums for a while. I'm looking to get a truck for hauling maybe some light towing and a camper or anything to keep me off the ground.
I used to have a 4runner ('95) and it suited my off-road needs pretty well (mostly desert use some mountains) but I would like more capabilities.
The SUV's main limitations were the inability to haul anything & the bed was too short to sleep in (I'm 6'1").
So, I'm trying to find something that will do it all: haul 4x8' sheets of plywood or a load of gravel and be able to 4wheel through canyons. I'm still stuck between a full sized truck (Ford f250 Chevy 2500) or a Tacoma.
Finally, how practical is it to store a flip-pac or FWC and use it occasionally?
I thought the FWC was an ideal solution but I could get by with a basic shell for now. I'm just trying to get the right truck then deal with the sleeping arrangements.
Sorry for the ramble but I need some sage advice from the experts! Thanks.
