(Flederman has an old GMC Sonoma that's good on fuel and reliable, also has room for dogs especially if you transport them Canadian style, ie loose in the back of the truck)

Oh yes, and the lid has to be non matching for best redneck effect. Flederman is a redneck in training. He'll never make a real one as he wouldn't hunt.

Something German or Japanese if you want it to last, we've got a Toyota RAV4 and it suits us fine.
Good on fuel, large interior, and 4x4 in the snow.
