Truck
I'd definitely get a truck with a 8' bed. If you get a shortbed, the rear wheel will be on the tailgate, and that bike is so heavy, it will bend the tailgate. My bike fits perfectly in my 02 f350, but with it being a 4x4, the bed is really tall and it's a bear to load and unload the bike; but a ramp and a deep ditch make it a lot easier. As far as an opinion on the kind of truck to get, well, get whatever you like the style of. I have several ford diesels, (7.3 powerstrokes) and absolutely love them.
