Being an American troll hunter makes me envision a huge lifted Ford or Chevy equipped with an external roll cage that has metal spikes welded to it as troll deterrent. It might not be very practical to expect a F-250 to weave about while being trailed by a temperamental troll. Get up and go or pedal to the metal response would make me feel a little safer.
You would want the capacity to carry 3 passengers in the event you meet a film crew that is willing to offer a large sum of money for some troll hunting footage(the bigger the fantasy, the better). I would vote on a quad cab truck. The Bed would hold mountable/dis-mountable UV lights and other equipment.
A truck will have a lower center of gravity as opposed to an SUV with roof mounted equipment. Trolls probably are not gold medalists in distance running, but they look quick and fast over short distances. With this in mind, I would choose a V-8 engine with lots of horsepower over one that is a fuel miser. And of course I would outfit the Truck with a 6 inch lift and include large mud tires such as Swamper TSLs. I'm not sure I would attach an external roll cage, unless needed for a particular job. The roll cage seems like adding a handle with a sign that says: "Troll grab here and totally trash my truck".
Up to this point in the blog I haven't eluded to, other than it's a truck, what type of troll hunter truck I would drive. Drum roll please. I believe I would go with a base model Toyota Tundra. I know its not anything grand, but I believe it would be the most plausible troll hunting rig. What type of troll hunting rig would you drive?
