It's possible to get a crate in a pickup, though. Other teams have done it, and we've brought our crate home from regionals (in 2001) in a truck. It looks really funny driving down I-75 with a giant wood box in the back.
As for the pickup, it was funny, because in 2001, Yellow Freight brought a full-size truck to our Auto Shop, but our crate was the only thing to go in each week. We shipped three times (twice after regionals), and the truck was always empty. They were also really early each time too...
