I've been a believer that full-size trucks/suvs are the best of the best since I was a kid. Everyone wants a muscle car, but they aren't practical for much...believe me, I own 2.

A pickup is the most versatile vehicle ever made, they can be built to do all things well. I recently went from a 2013 F150 to a 1989 K5 Jimmy because it suits me better. I'll miss the utility of the open bed, but that's what trailers and hitch racks are for.

The GMT400 (88-98, 2000 for heavy pickups and suvs) platform is my favorite for working on, and the last of the real pickups/suvs in my mind. The brakes are the only issue I have with them.

Square bodies will be forever iconic, and nostalgic for many like me. I learned to drive in a '79 K10 my dad bought new. The body lines were so good, Ford copied them in 1980 and ran them through 1997.

My wife has a 2011 Suburban, great vehicle, does the job...I've been trying to talk her into buying a squarebody burb to LS swap and turn into the ultimate family cruiser, but to no avail. She likes her's and is not willing to turn loose of it.

My '89 K5 does everything well, and if it ran on thumbs up and compliments I'd never have to spend another dime on gas. If I could justify it, I'd have a 3/4t or 1 ton pickup for pulling trailers, a 1/2t 2wd for fun, a K5 to DD, and a burb for family vacations...all in squarebody packages....maybe when the kids are all out of the house.
