4Runner or Half Ton Pickup?

Sorry fellas, you will never convince me the back of an SUV is more useful than a pickup bed. Whether it’s the tiny bed on my tocoma, all the way up to the 8’ bed on my f350.

Maybe not the back but with any 8-20 ft trailer problem solved.

I have a tundra and have always had trucks, but the wife’s got gx550 and had some 4 runners.

For a do everything vehicle its not even close, gx or 4 runner hands down. This will prolly be my last pickup with how much the towing capacity is increasing in the suv world and their interior layout. For hunting, fishing, camping, work on my farm a 4wd or awd suv is gunna be the ticket.

I disagree. Having to rely on loading a trailer for all hauling needs is inconvenient, at best. Additionally, you physically cannot get a trailer into every situation.

How about hauling game animals harvested? Yes, you can fold seats down in a SUV to accomplish the task. However, when I ride in anyone’s SUV who has done this, it smells like…well, a dead animal was in there.

Deer rack on the hitch solves that’s problem. I pull 10 ft to 28 ft trialers all the time. Never had an issue parking and much easier to unload. I can’t standing crawling in and outta of a bed of truck for drywall, lumber, bricks, mulch, etc. trailer is 10x easier.

I would like to see you navigate/reverse direction with your cute ute and trailer on some of the USFS roads I travel.

I forgot you could load 4 beefy guys and 500 pounds in the back of a 4rnr and drive USFS roads.
Good reminder.

That to many people for any rig IMO. I'd say let em drive their own rig

Why would I have a trailer pulling materials on a usfs road? I’ve killed a pile of pigs and deer in the national forest, qrt em and pack em out and throw my pack in the back of the 4 runner / gx etc.

I take my tundra down the same roads I took my Tacoma’s.

For hualing people, gear, hunting, fishing, daily life it’s gunna be extremely hard to beat a t4r or gx. They can literally do anything a truck can do and more.

For my needs, you will never convince me a suv is better than a pickup. I do see why folks like them though

Half ton crew cab pickup with canopy is about perfect for any hunting situation I’ve ever encountered.

I do see how a .223 in a rokstok driving a Subaru outback would appeal to some though
