Depends on the type of work being done.

If the job involves frequent stops and the bed doesn't need a ton of capacity because it's constantly being loaded and unloaded then I would say mid 1980s-1990s Toyota pickup with the MT. Or a Nissan of that vintage. Those things ran forever and were good on gas.

If a larger bed is needed then there are a lot of options so it comes down to personal taste. I've always preferred the Chevys but a lot of people are F150 or Ram guys.

Ran these back in the 80's when I was a railroad contractor. F-150, 2X4, 5 speed manual, 300 six, 22 mpg with all kinds of stuff packed into the bed.

Well... according to America the F-150. But I am partial to any old two door truck.

My truck. No frills like 4x4 or seat belts. Or A/C. Or 12 volt batteries. Or Power anything.

He owns a fabrication shop, so it not like he's on work sites. Although there's a handyman in my town that drives a bagged work truck, but it's not body dropped.

It depends what your doing to be honest. There isn't a truck for every single job on the planet.

This a thousand times. The Jeep was a truck and wasn't just tough, it was soldier-proof and went through worse conditions than any Silverado or F-150. I've never have the pleasure of using one but I been inside many Humvees in my time.

Any truck you can get your tools out of from any point around the box, instead of having to resort to folding stairs and handrails, self deploying steps, and other stupid shit on the current crop of towering blingmobiles.
