Pickup to carry 2 cube of logs?

[Woodworks]

Just toying with idea of a pickup instead of defender and trailer. Is it straight forward to get 2 m3 of logs in a decent sized pickup with greedy boards?

 

Possible contenders are Ranger and Isuzu as it will also be used on the farm and need decent towing capabilities.

 

 

Edit. No need for a tipper as I presume a Load handler would work well.

Hilux extra cab with extra 8" boards around sides makes 2m3

 

edit: new shape hilux that is; old one is tiny even as single cab.

 

If I only did logs I'd have this:

Thanks TCD but ouch!

 

Don't have that kind of budget. Was thinking about 10k cheaper

We have a hi-lux for small deliveries. Does 2 cube fine, just put a tipper on it, best thing ever! Paid $16000 5 years ago, about £7500.

Ditto

 

I will add its probably best to get some load leveling shocks or heavy duty springs to stop it looking overloaded even when they are not.

Not a problem Beau: this one's not a tipper - not a single cab even.

I have an old Nissan D21 double cab and get 2 cubic metre bags on the back by putting the back tail gate down flat! Doesn't look or feel overloaded and easy to get off in under 60 seconds!
