For us, having the bed of a pickup is great for dog exercise pens, outdoor mats and charcoal and propane grills. It is also a great place for bikes.

Small pickups can be almost as useful and can weigh a lot less. Until recent I had an older Ford Ranger with a bed cap that only weighed 3500 pounds, and it was easy to tow the few times I pulled it behind my van. Its manual transmission made it very easy to flat tow. The main down side for us, other than age, was that it only sat two adults.
