F250. Highway travel is awesome. Mud and snow acceptable. I have a nice 3rd gen 4runner that didn't even hunt this year.

Need a locker in the front. Or want, I guess.

Can't beat the comfort on the highway, will go anywhere I want (plus some), and will tow my 24' camper with no issues. Definitely get some funny looks when out hunting, but I'll take it over a truck any day. Had the pleasure of hauling 3 cow elk in it during 4th season this year.

Toyota 90 series cruiser built to my specs. If I had unlimited cash.

Now, these days, if I were buying new, the Ford Ranger Tremor, and Chevy Colorado ZR2 look really good. Sorry, Toyota Taco, your seats are awful, and the bulbous hood is as well. Front camera or no, seeing over the hood is a problem for me.

I would not endorse a full size unless I had to chain it up and go through hood deep snow. Then an F350 or Ram 3500 crewcab short bed would do nicely.

Not the best picture, got a new phone. But I have been highly impressed with my cherokee. I had a F350 that worked well other then beating the crap out of you on gravel roads. I treat this thing like a SXS and it has handled everything I have thrown at it. It's quiter then any four wheeler, dirt bike or side by side and gets me anywhere I need to go.

My rig. Diesel Ram 1500 4X4 w/ Kodiak Canvas truck tent.

Digging this setup. Love the carpet bed, but not practical for me for other uses.

Currently working on a 2005 Jeep Liberty with a diesel motor. Have an old military trailer to pull my wheeler. Hoping to have enough room for 2 guys, gear and the wheeler between the roof rack, trailer and storage in the Jeep with the seats down. Should be a decent set up for hunting out East.

Been waiting on parts for the lift kit since the beginning of October. Wont make this hunting season but home to have is going for next season.

It's not carpeting. I've hauled 3/4" gravel, dirt, bricks and it still looks new. I power-wash it annually.

There is only one stock truck that offers all of this...

front rear Lockers, >10k towing, front/rear camera, 12k lb winch, can fit 35s stock with no rub, room for wife + 3 kids and dogs, all gear, coolers and meat can fit in the 6.5ft bed, rides softer than any truck on the road outside of a Raptor, electronic disconnecting swaybar, crawl mode, 13" tpuchscreen, heated/cooled seats, heated wheel, power folding mirrors (clutch when the trail gets tight)...the list goes on.

I've been through almost everything... tacos, 4 runners, GX460, 80 Series landcruiser, raptor, F250, Ram 3500.

Would take the Powerwagon over all of them, and twice on Sunday.
