Ok, that’s fair … I guess because the F250 isn’t sold here people have a different attitude. For your needs here people would get something like an Iveco Daily 3.5 ton with dropside deck, they can take a good beating, about the same size as a heavy duty pickup but with more space on the back.

They also do options for a crane, tipper for agregates, and crew cab … seems like a pretty solid work platform compared to a pickup.
