I have seen a nice rig built on a class 8 where they carry a Smart car sideways for local transportation in addition to some of what you have. He has a bumper pull camper so that his truck bed is more usable. He started with a used class 8 with 350,000 miles that cost less than most used pickups, has enormous towing capacity and probably has more life left in it than most new pickups.
But, it sounds like your wife has already ruled that out.
You right Sir, she did. I showed her nice used tractor trailer and she scream NO while running away :) It was cute.
She got in International CV and said that maybe she can leave with that one. Problem F-650 is taller by like 12 inches and has 3 steps. That scares her. I had plan to rent Uhal 26 foot truck that seats on F-650 and move friends stuff while trying to convince her that "it's not that bad" :)
