If you're using a truck to tow, haul and get dirty, we'd go with the SV 4x4 and opt for the three available packages (Convenience, Tow and Utility). Off-roaders should look to the PRO-4X. The Platinum Reserve competes well against Ford's King Ranch and RAM's Laramie Limited, but you should be prepared to pay through the nose.
