Pickups tend to be the choice of many because it allows the extra storage, you get the large wheel base for more stability and the springs tend to be more heavy duty and can take more tongue weight.

Yeah, I like the idea of a pickup, but with three kids, it starts to get tough if we want to take friends. I'm thinking I have two options. I could do a pickup which would allow for a little shorter trailer, or a large suv with one of those toy hauler campers to take the bikes and crap.
