    best official pick-up truck model? —Joseph Gonzalez
   question for the town fans, what's the best 'official' (part of an official set) pick-up truck that lego has released for minifigs? stuck in traffic, i got to looking at the cars around me and couldn't remember lego ever releasing a pick-up truck (...)

     (...) Offhand, I'd say...none of them. I can't think of any 6-wide pickups that have ever been released. The closest would be the SUV from the horse trailer set. (...) Well...I do have a design that's out of this world: (URL) (14 years ago, 24-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)

     (...) thanks for the response and your design (nice job!). your sample is exactly what i have in mind...something that gives the 'feel' of a cab and bed. ..jg (14 years ago, 27-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)

          Re: best official pick-up truck model? —Joseph Gonzalez
      (...) this is a great model that has the feel of what i'm looking for, but i'm looking for something that is minifig size (admittedly a tricky request due to the scale). ..joseph g (14 years ago, 28-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)
     
          Re: best official pick-up truck model? —Jordan Schwarz
      (...) About a year ago, I was requested to design an American-style pick-up truck, and this was the result. I designed the original in LDD, and it has since been realized in brick as well. To me, the truck looks like a Dodge Ram. (URL) While I'm at (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)

      (...) tasty model, jordan! simple but defining design, that's what i'm talking about! it's definitely got the feel of early (1980s) lego cars. nice job! ..jg (14 years ago, 30-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)
    
         Re: best official pick-up truck model? —David Laswell
     (...) The unfortunate downside is that this design, while being almost exactly what I wanted to do for the Pizza Planet truck, is impossible to build without the cap over the bed. The most significant issue is that the B pillars on the back of the (...) (14 years ago, 29-Dec-10, to lugnet.town, FTX)

        Re: best official pick-up truck model? —Dave Schuler
     (...) For the life of me, I can't remember which set included it, but wasn't there a small pick-up in one of the Adventurers sets? I seem to recall that it had an opening tailgate and 1x6 arches for rear fenders? (14 years ago, 30-Dec-10, to lugnet.town)

         Re: best official pick-up truck model? —Dave Schuler
     (...) Actually no, but I love that one as well and I'm annoyed that I forgot it. For some reason, I have the sense that the one I'm remembering came in either some kind of promo set or perhaps a S@H exclusive set. Darn this old brain of mine! Why (...)
