I always avoided PUs. I loved my Suburbans. But now that I have a crew cab truck, I can't imagine going back to a big SUV.
I am always puzzled why folks are so scared of a Pickup truck.
With the advent of the crew cabs you can fit 6 adults easily in a Crew cab.. The 1/2 ton versions ride as soft as the proverbial "Cadillac" with their softer springs.
So, unless you have a absolute need to haul 7-9 adults a pickup truck can easily substitute for a large SUV. Not to mention with a cover or even a cap on the back of the pickup you have lots of additional useful cargo area to work with!
The only downside of a 1/2 ton pickup is it is not easy to find them with the HD or Max Tow payload package off of dealer lots so you do need to check the payload sticker before committing to buying one. Top trim level with long bed often results with cargo payloads of 1,200 lbs unless you find one with HD payload or Max Tow configurations which gets you up to 1,800-2,200 lb payloads.
