Best Pickup Trucks for a Camping Trip 

Summer may be the official season of camping, but we think autumn has been underrated. With cooler weather, less bugs, and less crowded camping sites, the fall season is a great time for squeezing in a last hurrah. If you didn’t get a chance to get away this summer, don’t sweat it; you’ll have an even better time around a campfire with fall leaves to color your views. And there’s no better way to enjoy your camping than with a pre-owned pickup truck. Here at Carville’s Auto Mart, we want to show you some of the best pickup trucks for a camping trip.  


Dodge Ram 

The Dodge Ram makes the most of its bed’s space with the RamBox ® Cargo Management System. This system allows for easily accessible goods stored in secure, lockable storage units located around the bed of the pickup. Convenient for snacks, hiking gear, or whatever camping items you want to have available at a moment’s notice. Plus, with up to 21 mpg city and 29 mpg highway, the 2015 Dodge Ram will let you explore new places for less. 

Ford Super Duty F-350 

Camping is more fun with more gear, and sometimes you want to bring a lot of gear. Bringing a large trailer, motorboat, or even your horses along is all possible with a heavy-duty pickup truck like the Ford Super Duty F-350. This vehicle made the list because of its substantial towing capabilities. For conventional towing, you can bring along 19,000 lbs., but that isn’t even its biggest achievement. The 2015 model of the Ford Super Duty F-350 can tow up to 31,200 lbs. with gooseneck towing. That’s a lot of camping gear!
