My construction company as a lot of big trucks. Luckily when the stimulus package starts I can put more of them to work on bridge construction. Now that my body is in its 60s, I prefer to drive my personal Hummer H2, over the F350 diesel duallies and the bigger diesel rigs. Those things don't make good everyday drivers unless your back is tougher than mine. It lacks the power and brakes of the bigger rigs, but it is more practical as an every day driver. If you want the ultimate pickup/hauler get an International 7300 CXT - not very practical as an everyday driver though!
The H2 does a lot better for my purposes than my old Navigator did and ten times better than my old F350 4 X 4 with the 7 mpg V10 that rides like a buckboard with less than 3000 pounds in the back. As I approach my 70s, ride has become key in importance to me along with the versatility. On site, my H2 has only been stuck in the mud twice, much better than my other machines, but I have aggressive tires too - Toyos. I don't normally haul anything around, but when I pitch in, the H2 is the best hauler I've had that I can still drive every day, not destroy my old back, and take the wife out to dinner in when I get home.
