I'm with Larry - you don't need a big truck. My 2012 Suburban 1500 has no trouble with my Outrage 25....

Yeah, I guess it depends on perspective, but around here a Suburban is considered a "big truck." In this urban area pick-up trucks are relatively scarce, and those that do have them are usually running a Tacoma or occasionally a "big" F-150. Some folks have Suburbans but they are tricky to navigate and park in the tight conditions here.
Have you guys priced new or used Suburbans lately? I looked at them on a nearby Chevy lot last year, and couldn't find one with an MSRP below $65K. Some of them were optioned over $80K. And I have not seen Chevy offer any incentives or discounts -- the factory in Texas has added extra shifts to keep up with demand. The used examples also seem to hold their value. By comparison, a crew cab pick-up truck is much more affordable!
