Its funny how often having awkward vehicles/trailers causes us stress on our expeditions. Motor homes dragging on tree branches hanging over roads in neighborhoods... Difficulties at smaller gas stations, parking at hotels.
My plan right now is to find an extended Chevy work van for goat transport-- The kind with a barrier between the cargo area and the front seats. I'll probably give it a 4 inch lift to help with going over gulches, but it wont be as good as a pickup truck. Chevy has an actual longer wheelbase, while Ford and Dodge have the same wheelbase as a normal van and a section welded to the back. I figure the Chevy design would be better for not tail-dragging and the Ford would be better for tighter corners. But the longer wheelbase will be better for towing a horse trailer in case I'm doing a riding expedition, so thats the main reason I'm going with Chevy (That, and I don't like the Ford Triton motors).

I don't drink beer, but if I did, I'd prefer Dos Equis. Stay thirsty my friends!
