996 and a pick-up truck anyone?
Thinking that a 996 and a truck could be a good combo. Anyone go this route and if so which truck do you have to complement your Porsche?

Not a pickup, but a 4Runner with a full length roof rack is plenty complementary for me.

1999 C2 and 2001 Ford F-350 crewcab,4x4, 7.3 Powerstroke diesel. I have owned the truck for almost 20 years, bought with 29,000 miles. Now 244,xxx on it. Just changed the oil today. My wife and I were planning on upgrading the truck when I retire, but, I am not sure I want to do that. It is a good truck. The 944 has a new home.

No pickup truck but I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (invincible all purpose vehicle) and a 2014 VW Touareg (almost a Porsche Cayenne) as a daily driver. They are very useful living in Utah...
The jeep has 225k miles. Can’t even remember the last time I serviced it, it’s just keeps going

Since I retired from Cummins, I have a Cummins Dodge 2500 Ram, rarely drive it, use the diesel Benz mostly. great ride and mileage. I did take the Porsche out for 200 mile twisty ride today with top down and 71 degree sunshine.

Was running a 128i with the 996, recently got rid of it at 217k miles for a 2015 crew cab Colorado Z71. It's been nice having something that I can throw parts in the back that would have never worked with the 128.

Ocean Blue Metallic 1999 C2 Cabriolet 6sp with 80K miles, and a Silver 2006 Honda Ridgeline auto with 128K. Love that Ridgeline! Gave the Arctic White 1999 Boxster Base 6 sp with 88K miles to my Daughter and Son-In-Law, however, I replaced that car with two Harley Davidsons, a Vivid Black 2001 Road King with 16K miles, and a Vivid Black1989 Softail Springer with a 1999 Night Train engine and transmission with only 3K miles! I rule!

I have a E350 Transit Box truck with liftgate for the business. Good for toting around stuff. Also have a 2016 Town and Country as the dedicated family vehicle. Pretty boring but hasn't demanded anything other than regular maintenance.

For me it is a Toyota 4Runner, but I don’t have a good pic of the combo.

I no longer own my 996 (I own a 991 now), but the combination of a 911 and a truck is perfect. I’ve got a GMC Denali 1500 in the garage along with my 911.
