[Artemisia] SCA vehicles

[Kim Rule]

I have to agree with Godwin...Our Ranger pickup is small, cute and
hardy!  It is a club cab, with flared sides.  The engine is a 6 cylinder
something or other...We hauled a nice encampment, and ourselves to
Coronation.  Next year...if it's an equestrian event...HINT!!  We'll be
hauling all that, plus some miniature horses in the horse trailer that
the truck pulls.  Now, I wouldn't try to haul 2 big horses in the
trailer, but I think our 4 little ones will be just fine!  The gas
mileage is about 20-25 on the highway...a little less with the trailer.


If I had it to do over again, I'd do the crew cab...more inside space!

Don't rule out mid-sized pickups.

I really enjoy my '07 Chevy Colorado (4x4, crew-cab, Z71). Seats 4 large
adults
comfy, and has all that bed space that can be covered with a tonneau
cover or
small camper shell. 15-17 mpg in town, 23-25 highway (17mpg towing a
2000lb
trailer). 4000lb towing capacity. Very quiet and very smooth ride. Take
off the
tonneau or shell, and haul stuff.... something I couldn't do with my
suburban.
Now then the bed is only 5ft long, which can be a drawback if you are
hauling
long things. But as people have mentioned, Thule type 'torpedo' mounted
roof rack
based containers could take care of that. the Colorado/Canyon comes in a
plethora
of configurations/price points.
