SUV vs Pickup Truck Rental in Northern Ontario

Both handle rough roads and winter well, but SUVs and pickups serve different jobs. Here's how to choose.

Choose an SUV if…

• You're carrying passengers and gear (enclosed, weatherproof cargo).
• You want comfort for long highway drives.
• You need AWD for winter but not an open bed.

Choose a pickup truck if…

• You're hauling building materials, ATVs, furniture or dirty/bulky loads.
• You need to tow a trailer or boat.
• An open bed is more useful to you than enclosed seats.

Cost and availability

Pickups and SUVs sit at the higher end of daily rates. In smaller Northern Ontario communities, availability is limited — book ahead, especially in hunting season and at month-end for trucks.
