my suzuki was built for game recovery, drag it out to the road, winch it on to thje trailer and back to camp. With over 4' of articulation, locked axles, water forging capability and gear reduction well over 100 to 1 makes I'd do things no full size pickup or even atv can. Pics are posted earlier in this thread.We likely have different views on how hunting is done, ours is 99% feet. And while I'm suspicious of your statement pickups can't go where your Suzuki will (I have the V8 FJ build a page back, very familiar with wheeling), I'll grant you that for the sake of sport. We don't drive once in hunting country, it kills the whole experience. If you want to, a quad will go much further than a Suzuki, no matter what anyone tries to tell themselves to justify what we like. In the end, you yourself state all your crap is getting hauled home by a pickup. One good pickup will easily do the whole trip, works for me and I am definitely on the "busy" end of the hunting scale. If you want throw a quad in the back of the pickup. Few want to pack so much crap to go hunting anyway, pickup, trailer for second vehicle, second vehicle, camper… that sounds like America's idea of a deer hunt.The fellow starting this thread wanted a hunting vehicle that worked for his real life too, and just one vehicle, not a convoy. That vehicle is a half ton quad cab, unless hunting is an infrequent side affair.
One "good" pickup will not do the trip for me, to haul camper and trailer it is a one ton dually diesel that hauls a camper and 16ft flat deck and even that is quite taxed hauling the weight through the mountain passes.
