I find it easier to lift a bag of redi-mix waist high to load rather than hoisting it chest high. That and the fact that my trailer won't fit a new truck means I will drive my old one until it refuses to come home.
By the way 2017 tail gate heights: Ram 3500 DRW - 57", Ram 3500 SRW - 59", F350 SRW - 60 1/2"
Seems to me a forklift lifts a pallet of concrete 62" about as easy as it does 48". For towing an RV a tow body would work the best .... orflat bed but most rv'ers seem to want what everybody else has.
Near as I can tell the pickup works the best for towing and carrying.
