As the owners of a country property, we find our suv superior to a truck.  We haul all kinds of stuff including 2 dogs in closed comfort.
Ask yourself how often do you really need that open bed?  And remember, moving stuff in the rain or on a snowy slushy winter day is out of the question.
Buy a trailer for the suv if you reslly need it or for the few occasions you need the space, rent a closed trailer and your belongings stay nice and dry.
