Well, it's time for a new(er) truck. I currently have my 2008 F350 for farm work and a 2002 Rav4 for daily driver. Both of these are on their last leg. I'd like to just drive a 1/2 truck as my daily driver and farm truck.
Here's my typical truck chore list -
1) haul firewood - doesn't matter how much I haul at a time
2) hay - I haul hay on a 16ft utility trailer 8 4x5 rolls at a time. Would guess this load 9K lbs but I can fewer if need be. I'm not hauling hay more than 3 miles so many trips isn't a show stopper.
3) Cows - I have a 20ft trailer now but could see myself downsizing to something like a 12 or 16 ft. I can hire someone to haul my big loads to the salebarn.
So the question is which truck and what year would you be looking at if you were in my boat? Is there such thing as doing work with a 1/2 ton or is that just for rednecks like me?
