I run a 1984 Dodge W150 with 3/4 Ton springs. On a good day I can fit almost a cord in it. It still needs a little work but it's a great pickup for something I put about 5-800 miles a year on.

My wife and I have been discussing my purchasing a "beater" truck during the upcoming year. When I passed a used dump truck along the road for sale, I said, "Hey, honey! That would be perfect."

Her response was that if I were to buy it, she would divorce me. LOL

I've discussed this at work, and it's definitely a gender item. Every male with whom I've mentioned this agreed that a dump truck would be great, probably because all of us are little boys at heart and can't help but think of "Tonkas." Every woman agrees with my wife, and a few have had a discussion on this very subject with their husbands.

Bottom line: "Truck" means "pick-up truck" in my wife's vernacular. By the way, used tanks are also out, according to her.

I'm not doing any better than you. For large hauls, I borrow my father-in-law's pickup. Otherwise, for the lot which is literally just around the corner from my house, I just buck and split what I can and put it into my little Saturn Ion with the seats down and an old sheet covering everything. It often takes many trips, but the distance isn't a concern.

My "hauler"
 
it's the one in my profile page.

'48 1.5-ton dodge. 2-speed rear, pto dump, 12'x4'x6' bed. (2.25 cords folks) exceptionally slow moving.
 
My rig ('81? MTD) for hauling rounds out from the woods behind my house.
I'm amazed that tin trailer is still in one piece. Especially since I have to cross a low section of stone wall every trip. LOL

I don't have a hauler currently, well the truck, yeah. But I am fixing to build a 4'x6' or 6.5' trailer to attach to the quad(Prairie) so I can get back to those remote regions..............

Now that is a nice wood hauler, only thing is, I would have to sell my saws and splitter and get a job since I am retired to pay for one. ;-P

Here is mine, with some of the wood it has hauled so far this summer / fall. I have added removable rails to the sides so I can pile the wood high, a bar across the back rollbar so the wood doesn't come visit me when I am driving, and on the top a removable rack to carry 2 chainsaws, gas, oil, ...
