Just my bike maybe 400lbs trailer + 400lb bike.  
Hadn’t thought about the pilot. kinda like it. Not super sold on thel ooks but the interior is nice and you can get nav which is a plus but the price gets a bit high.

800 lbs is the equivalent of a full car of passengers… or two kinda fat chicks… or one really fat chick…

Toyota T100.

Amazing truck, we use one for landscaping. Bulletproof, comfortable, and can be had for around $3,000 in pretty good shape.

Is the Toyota Tundra a full sized truck? :shrug:

I’d go with that, if not then Tacoma… maybe the new Mitsu Raider?

Bang for the buck, a maxed out Xterra might be the way to go. Those things are cheap.

The Tundra is considered full size.  
Tacoma is a very good truck. I haven’t checked out the new ones, but the previous model was great. I almost bought one. The Xterra is kinda cool, but I would prefer the truck bed. Just my .02

tundra is technically “full size”.

I would consider something that can be used to haul other things like construction materials for home work, dirty materials, like greasy parts from the junkyard, and of course, people. you may not need to haul them right now, but if you are spending $30k on a truck, it sounds to me like you may keep it for a few years. I think this is a big reason for the popularity of four-door crewcab trucks.

ME too, I’d rather the truck bed.

I really like the Mitsubishi Raider. I finally saw one up close last week.

[http://www.mitsubishicars.com/06raider/](http://www.mitsubishicars.com/06raider/)

It says “mid-sized” truck in the description, so I hope that it isn’t classed as a full size truck.
