New to this site....
Just picked up a 2018 Hawk and would like some thoughts on what truck would be good for our needs...
Many years tent camping in a jeep then on to a platform bed/snugtop in a tacoma w/6ft bed
I plan on lots of hwy miles and want to spend time off road, mostly fire roads (easy/moderate) no crazy rock crawling. I'm a bit concerned about wheel base as I am comming from a jeep/tacoma and expect to spend a fair amount of time in the Sierra Nevada & Rocky mtns. I am wide open to anything but currently thinking a F150 with the 5.0. I have concerns from reading various sites about the 3.5 turbo reliability. I have been told I should step up to a 250 but most are dbl cabs and are about 21' long. If I go with a 150 or tundra type, I expect to improve the suspension and add e rated tires. Just seeking comments/suggestions.
Thanks
