- You can tow a bumper pull or gooseneck trailer<\/a>. Yes, a car, SUV, or van can be hitched to a bumper pull trailer, but they are not adaptable for gooseneck or \u201cfifth wheel\u201d style trailers. Why is that important? For the most part, gooseneck trailers offer better maneuvering and can hold more weight than their bumper pull counterparts. This enables you to haul anything your truck can tow behind you without limitation.<\/li>\n
- You can convert the standard truck bed into a service body, dump body, or pickup flatbed design. Although utility vans can be customized with shelves and outside compartments, it comes with the cost of space. Service body<\/a> truck beds can offer the same kind of enclosed storage combined with an open floor and racks to lay down large equipment, pipes, carpet, or other odd-shaped items. And if you just need more space to drop bulk building items like lumber, bricks, hay bales, or bags of soil, then a regular pickup flatbed<\/a> may do just fine. In addition, having the option to add a dump body<\/a> for construction or landscaping is a big plus that you won\u2019t get with a car or work van.<\/li>\n
- Trucks are now being made with bigger cabs to accommodate more passengers or storage, in sizes and seating comparable to small to mid-size cars. Small crews can arrive together at a job instead of having to spend more on fuel for taking separate vehicles.<\/li>\n
- Trucks separate the cargo area from the cab, which can keep the smell of the dirty tools, materials, or chemicals from affecting drivers as they travel. Also, it is easier to load and unload cargo in the back of a pickup truck than a van or car.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/p>\nBest Pickup Trucks \u2013 Heavy Duty<\/h3>\n
2022 Ram 3500
\n<\/strong>$38,565 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 4,644 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 37,090 lbs.<\/p>\nWith some models offering six seats, you get plenty of seating and power with this truck. Winning a J.D. Power award in \u201cQuality Among Large Heavy-Duty Pickups,\u201d the Ram 3500<\/a> has enhanced features like a digital rearview mirror to show the road behind you if your view is obstructed by cargo or a trailer. If you are looking for a truck with plenty of tow power for the price with great safety features, the Ram 3500 is a good choice.<\/p>\n
2022 GMC Sierra 3500 HD
\n<\/strong>$40,095 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 4,572 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 36,000 lbs.<\/p>\nHaving almost semi-truck like strength, the GMC Sierra<\/a> is a five-seater that comes in many models. The more popular model is the Denali Crew Cab with a 6.6L V8 engine which will run you close to $70,000. If you are looking for a similar option with slightly lesser price tag, you can check out the Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD. The Silverado offers the same towing abilities and brings an additional seat to the cabin, but lacks some of the Sierra\u2019s visual thrills in its design.<\/p>\n
2022 Ford Super Duty F-350<\/strong>
\n$39,705 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 7,850 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 35,750 lbs.<\/p>\nThis five-seater is as impressive inside as it is on the outside, with tech to impress any passenger. If you want a F-series truck that pulls out all the stops, then this is the pickup truck for you. With a comfortable ride, luxurious interior, and incredible power, the F-350<\/a> will get you between jobs in style.<\/p>\n
2022 Nissan Titan XD
\n<\/strong>$48,000 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 2,240 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 11,040 lbs.<\/p>\nThe Titan XD<\/a> offers a smoother ride than most competition and bridges the gap between regular full size and heavy-duty pickup trucks. This Nissan model has definitely carved out a niche for those who want a balance of power and drivability. However, with recent advances in full size pickup technology, the Titan XD is failing to show its worth. Yet, it remains a respected name that can get the job done.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nBest Pickup Trucks \u2013 Full Size<\/h3>\n
If you are looking for something a little less overpowering and more affordable, here are some great full size pickup options for getting the job done.<\/p>\n
2022 Ford F-150
\n<\/strong>$31,685 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 3,250 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 14,000 lbs.<\/p>\nNo list of best pickup trucks can exclude Ford\u2019s flagship F-150. Whether you are a contractor, ranch owner, or just a truck enthusiast, the F-150<\/a> has the looks and features to appeal to all. In addition to versatility, it\u2019s one of the most affordable trucks in its class. And for those who desire to go green, there is the full electric Lightning model which boasts 10,000 pounds of towing and 300 miles of driving between charges.<\/p>\n
2022 GMC Sierra 1500
\n<\/strong>$32,495 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 2,240 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 13,000 lbs.<\/p>\nWith high tech features like Hands-Free Towing, Automatic Lane Change, and enhanced voice activated navigational systems, driving a truck has never been easier. The Sierra<\/a> also incorporates the world\u2019s first Six-Function MultiPro Tailgate<\/a> which allows you to have several configurations of the tailgate to load or secure cargo in the truck bed. The Sierra combines superb luxury, absolute comfort, power, and drivability together into one masterpiece.<\/p>\n
2022 Ram 1500
\n<\/strong>$34,400 MSRP
\nPayload Limit: 2,300 lbs.
\nMax Towing Capacity: 12,750 lbs.<\/p>\nWhen outfitted with a 5.7L HEMI\u00ae V8 engine with eTorque, the Ram 1500<\/a> easily wins as one of the best pickup trucks in its class. And when towing a trailer, you can rely on the Trailer 360 Surround View camera, Trailer Reverse Steering Control, and Trailer Hitch Light for maximum awareness around your vehicle. The entry level Tradesman model starts at $34,400 and the price tag goes up from there.<\/p>\n

However, sometimes the standard pickup truck beds limit your payload carrying capacity or the way you can arrange your tools and cargo.
