You need any vehicle with good towing power. Pickup truck if you have tonn of gear and require boot space that you carry around. 

If you are towing a trailer, rv or a boat you can go for vehicles with better drive train built for heavy towing..not necessarily  a pickup truck. Chevy suburban is ideal .. 4runner

thanks bro...chevy suburban reliable vehicle aa?

Reliable if you maintain servicing accordingly.

Bro you can rent in Home Depot for that stuff, aa feel ravalante chakkaga 4Runner or bronco konuko. 
 

also I would suggest to look into Rivian or cyber truck. Those are amazing. Edayna tesko in these two. You can actually lease them if you want to try it out.

Lease a Rivian pickup truck, they have good EV lease deals these days

hybrid ante not around for long kadha truck segment lo so no risk?

 

Ford Maverick Hybrid has been around for couple of years. But yeah, it’s not a lot but then again if you see Hybrid technology, it has been around for quite some time and pretty successful and dependable. 

My EV lease will end in few months and I was researching about a midsize truck and this one fits my check box. I did a test drive and looked decent.

Looking for second car mostly SUV.One of my friends suggestd to go with pick up truck as these days they are becoming more sleek in design and the gap between traditional crossovers and pickups are narrowing. Also if you own a single family, it comes very handy to haul away stuff, blah blah blah. 

Any one in this group who own pick up trucks wanna share your insight?

Also any recommendations? my need is to be used a secondary car, can be a compact/mid size truck to help with gardening stuff or any other haul away items. Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier looks good in mid size category.

Interested to hear db thoughts?

cybertruck

Never 😀

That’s what I am trying to tell him.. if you want a real truck experience, don’t buy a compact sized truck..

I've used countless times being single. My ram 4,7 has a big bed, I had to fill it up every time I moved around houses, cities and even between Canada and US. It depends. A bigger bed 1/2 ton is lot better if you're to move furniture, mattresses, refrigerator, motorcycles, even big TV screens. 

Ford Maverick is a midget truck, not even mid range.

Most of vomericans don’t need pickup trucks but they still prefer driving them bcuz of the size of the trucks! If you are one of those go with them.. you will enjoy speed and spacious vehicle but won’t give feel of crossover or sedan!!!
