My favorite is the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60/62 series. You can haul people on road and off road. Great truck.

Owned 2 of them along with a '78 FJ40. Amazing vehicle, as long as you don't do a lot of highway miles. Big fan of Vanagon Westis as well. Maybe a Unimog?!

I have an '88 FJ62 that i've coined "ol Rusty." The thing runs like a champ and plows through slow. Also partial to the Land Rover Defender.

I wouldn't call it a dream truck, but I sure love my '99 Dakota V-8.

An 18 wheeler that has "Strample Racing" on the side with 4 or 5 of my pro prepared cars in it...

I can't honestly say that I've ever dreamt about a truck. Maybe when I was little. Optimus Prime was a truck, right?

I have admired plenty of racing rigs tho, and like Kurt said, I think that is only because of what they had inside.

My '95 extended cab Ranger, owned since new, is my daily driver. Never misses a beat. 20-21 mpg regularly. Best sound system of any vehicle I've owned. 135k miles. I use it for hauling mulch, errands, long trips and, before we gave up kart racing, used it to haul a kart trailer around the Eastern U.S. I plan to drive it into the ground.

I thought we were talking TRUCKS.. not "trucks". I envisioned Class 8 Tractor trailer rigs... Massive earth builders and the like. mmm Freightliners

Certainly was! I still have my original Optimus Prime and yes, I realize how pathetic that makes me I also have all of the episodes and movie on DVD... and yes, I realize how pathetic that makes me.

When I was little I desperately wanted Michael J. Fox's truck from Back to the Future. 8)

Now, I'm happy with my Grand Cherokee.

Here is a "TRUCK". Not very nimble in a mall parking lot but has a fairly large carrying capacity.
