Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What’s your dream truck?

Actually, a pickup is a type of truck.

They have been known as pickup trucks since day one.

Some shorten it and call them pickups. Others just call them trucks.

Don’t know that it’s my dream truck but it’s a good one. I’ll drive it until one of us can’t go anymore. It’s been to Deadhorse twice. Multiple trips up the haul road. Across the Denali highway more times than I can remember. Haul tens of thousands of board feet of saw logs on a25 foot gooseneck. And still driving it here in Idaho. 1995 F350 4x4 with the 7.3 diesel.

I’ve always liked the big, early 50’s Chevy dually trucks.

3800 or 4400, updated brakes and suspension. I’d put a mild 12v 6bt Cummins in it. Wood flat bed.

79-83 4x4 Toyota Pickup

I'm driving my "dream truck". A 2008 Chevrolet Silverado. Has everything I ever wanted in a hunting and everyday truck, and besides that, I will be 78 in a few months and should be happy I can still drive wherever I want to go-------as long as my wife and kids don't know!

the new gm 1500's with the h.o. 2.7t 4-banger is pretty dang close, if I could have it with a manual transmission, keyed ignition, and onstar module delete option then it would be perfect, for then it would be truly my truck lol

that motor is a peach, a 21st century gas powered long stroke big jug cummins 4bt that weighs 2/3rd less

I’m kind of liking my 21 Toyota FourRunner. It replaced a 2001 Super Duty 4x4 with 7.3 PowerStroke diesel. My needs have changed, this one tows my boat and hauls the dog and deer just fine.

I'd love a mid to late 70's f150 4wd with a 351.

1940's/1950's Dodge Power Wagon.

My 92 F250 4x4 IDI.

Pretty funny that almost everyone blew past the very first sentence of the OP. LOL

Typical campfire.

Any ‘67-79 Chevy square body 4x4 with a big block.

Guess I have a couple of good ones, an 88 F350 7.3 4x4 that I abuse daily, but my 85 chevy 1 ton 4x4 (K30) really is a dream truck, Dana 70 rear, 60 front, T400 and a 454 to make it all go.

Built 1976-1978 Ford F250, 4X4 Supercab, long bed with either a 521 or a 12 valve Cummins.

Guys will laugh but if I could find a mint Tacoma 1995 4x4 extra cab with the 5 spd and 2.7l 4 cyl with low miles on it I'd write the check. Mine has 256 k on it allways runs 20 mpg around town and up to 25 on the highway, will about go anywhere. Never had any vehicle so trouble free..mb

Age doesn't matter, only quality and capability.

I already own mine, 2000 F-250 Supercab Shortbed 4x4 7.3L PSD w/ ZF6. I'm hoping to get my coilsprung axle upgrades done this winter, along with a few others.

My 1996 F-250 CC XLT that I ordered new at Leonard Johnson’s Auto Ranch is still rolling strong. 7.3 2wd 4.10 Posi whatever Fords name for it is. I drove it all week. This last 8 months really jacked up the clear coat on the hood and roof. Going to get that fixed. No dents and no rust so maybe it won’t hurt too bad.

People always want to buy it from me but they’d never be willing to pay what it would take. It’s a seriously nice truck.

If only I could get my GMC 72 back.....miss that rig! 454 and damn the gas prices, that thing would go anywhere! Owned it from 80-82 then sold it.
Bench seat was built for romancing the ladies when I wasn't hunting or fishing. Heck, a couple of the ladies I knew were into the outdoors.

Saw a Land Cruiser 70 or 80 troop carrier with a mild lift & sensible tire choice once that tripped my trigger. One of those in left hand drive, diesel, manual, could be my forever or teotwawki vehicle if it wasn't strapped with US or otherwise smog crap.

Defender 90's & 110's always tripped my trigger but the above LC might trump them.

A square body Sub with a big block & some primo drive axles is always thought of as a useful HD vehicle with a lot of room & towing cap.

Anything mentioned, 4WD is a given.

I like so many. But a trio is what I've always considered ideal.

A midsize SUV for travel, going to the city, ease of parking etc., but still with decent off road capabilities.
A 3/4 ton 4x4 for hauling a bit or towing a sensible camper or cargo trailer. Cab & a half short box.
Then a smaller decked out trail rig that's still street worthy.

thought about it for many an hour, 3 vunits are generally needed. Pin it down to one? Where am I & what am I doing?
