The truck you have now and a new SUV will probably have the same wheelbase, but the new truck will have MUCH better braking and creature comforts for the haul. Nothing silly about having to SUV's, seems the norm around the Chicago area. I daily drive a 2015 regular cab Hemi Ram 2500 minimum 120 miles a day and get 15 MPG, but cannot ever see myself driving around in a little time CAR, ever!
The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
