My truck bed is always is always full of stuff that would ruin the interior of a nice suv.My preference for dual use both as a tow vehicle and a trip to the lumber yard would be best with a pickup truck.
Bought the F150 in 05 and would love a new truck but with pricing from 40 to 60 grand (and even more) it aint gonna happen ,especially on a fixed income.
With my extended Expedition EL, I can load a 4x8 sheet of plywood in the back and close the doors, or 2x4s or whatever up to about 12' diagonally until I have to open the back window. Mine is always full of crap back there but can still haul a bunch of people when need be.

Oh, I only see 55mph on the way up or down. I can't imagine driving hundreds of miles at that speed. Couldnt do it even in the 70s and 80s when that was the limit. I usually dont go over 65 though with the trailer.
