Which would you buy...stake bed vs 4x4 PU?

Again, I agree with Builder. UTV's are nice for a lot of things but cost at least $9k for a basic Landpride Treker. If you go for a workhorse with a nice cab like the Kubota RTV1100 it is $15-$16k. And you only have a 4'x4' box on them.

Before I ever spent that kind of $ on a gator for the back 40, I'd get an old suzuki samuri, all kinds of after market parts, parts readily available and cheap, could build a small bed etc., and can always license it to run to town at 60, can't do that with a gator.
There was a thread awhile ago about sammi's vs. gators, lots of good info.

Possibly something like this:

1979 - 4x4 FORD 8in lift 36in buckshot tires 351 mod motor needs tune up

$1000

Its a half ton. I'd hold out for a 3/4 ton or 1 ton pickup. Unless you can get them to come down to a few hundred bucks.
