I am shopping for my first truck. Till now, we have used a Honda Pilot SUV, which we enjoy very much. However, lately I have been hauling lots of lumber, stones, dirt, etc…, which would be better hauled in a pickup. On a few occasions I rented a pickup. Now I am going to buy one. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

The pickup needs to accommodate 4 adults. The pickup will be used on a 56 acre farm with dirt roads. 4x4 is preferred. The pickup will be used for mostly local driving, but some long highway trips. I don’t care about aesthetics. I’m leaning towards an F150 XL SuperCab, but remain open to any suggestions. I am receptive to a V6 or V8. Some measure of fuel efficiency would be nice, but my expectations are low for a truck. I have no allegiance to any brand, domestic or foreign.

Many thanks,

Mark
