I just need a pickup truck, light duty, six seater. Mostly to haul stuff around town, but occasionally to get up the mountain.
Already have a car for my 16 year old and a minivan.

Or will it need to hold 6 people comfortably and perform truck duty simultaneously? Also, I’m assuming that by “truck” you mean a pickup truck.

Seat belts for all as well. I get approx. 20mpg and with the ecoboost I can pull my fully loaded 21ft camper as if it weren't there.

I really want to buy the new Ford Raptor, lol! But my wife mandated that the truck seat six people and cost $10k-$20k. So I'll have to wait a couple of years until my oldest son leaves the house before I go for the Raptor I guess. I have no idea which model/make of trucks are capable of seating all six of our family. What are some options I would be looking at? And what is a 'good' truck in this price range? Someone told me the Dodge truck after year 2012 is the best value. Never owned a Dodge though, so I'm not sure about that. I like Toyota, so the Tundra looks appealing, and I think some versions of it seat six with the fold down console in the middle, right? But those are expensive. I sold all my water toys since Utah Lake is now a mud puddle, so I don't really have much need for towing capacity right now.
