SUVs cost more new and used for the same level of equipment/age/condition as a crew cab pickup. My opinion is that if you need less than 5 seats, a pickup is more useful. I miss mine!

Should you choose F-150, there are a lot of combinations which vary tow ratings and RV capability. It can be difficult to find what you want/need for RVing. For ease of locating, get a 2007+ Expy EL. They all come with the 6-spd trans, optimal axle ratio, HD towing package with trans cooler, 7-pin wiring. While there are not as many compared to F-150s, if you find some it's equipped as needed.
