Teri,

You want a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton truck. (2500 or 3500) (Ford F-250 or 350)
Crew cab, short bed or long bed if you don't mind driving an ocean liner.

You want a Ford, Dodge or Chevy.

You want a diesel....

Hunter
 
Thanks Hunter.... can i ask one more question?  My husband is deadset against diesel, due to upkeep cost.  Are gas engines just not going to do what we need?
 
Thank you for ALL your help!
Teri
