One thing to think of (coming from a guy with a perpetual bad back)is not having to bend at the waist at all,when either loading or unloading.A 36-inch deck height is about perfect for me.
It's also nice to have materials-handling carts (The Home Depot/Lowe's,etc.) at an identical height as the truck bed,where you can basically slide the materials in with a minimum of lifting.
On 'real' jobs we always had materials delivered to the jobsite.Framers drove economy cars like Sentras,Corollas,and CIVICs. They were too smart to waste money feeding a pickup.
And you'd be surprised what you can pull behind a Honda CIVIC,with a $149 utility trailer!
Never drive a pickup unless you absolutely must.They use the energy of three American homes.
