A good list, Case.

I completely agree with the idea that bigger isn’t always better with the pickups. I used to have an access cab Toyota Tacoma (which was actually in a few videos on buildalot acres) and I can confirm that 99% of home owners could easily get by with a quarter ton truck.

Definitely all good picks. Completely agree, you need to learn how to be handy. Cheers, Mike.

i have a generator, tractor, tools & fireplace, the fireplace keeps me from freezing but a stove would be much more efficient and would produce more heat. also a small truck would be handy, mostly for dump runs for me.

I had my generator ready for that round of storms predicted for our area in Ohio last Thursday. Thankfully, they weren't as strong and stayed further south. It wasn't needed, but it's comforting knowing we'll have water (well), refrigeration, and lighting. I think if I absolutely had to decide between a tractor and a truck for homesteading, I'd go tractor with dump trailer and a small, fuel efficient, run around vehicle. We are picking up our 1/2 beef on Monday, so Im bias towards the freezer as well. OK....I admit it. There is no way I can keep it to 5 things. 😂
