I think truck guns, like most things are going to vary for each person, depending on their particular circumstance. I often times, carry my Mossberg 500 12 gauge with an 18.5 inch barrel, and a bandoleer with an additional 50 rounds of a combination #1,00 buck, and slugs. I don't have a ranch, or any large portions of land that I drive around on a regular basis, so most of the "animals", I may encounter will more than likely be of the two legged variety, and my shotgun will only come into play if I am somehow unable to keep driving.
If I were going to be traversing large portions of land, I would probably opt for my AR, for things like coyotes, wild hogs etc.
I agree, there is probably no perfect single firearm, that will suffice in all circumstances, or for all possible scenarios. Everyone will have to determine what works for them in the conditions they expect, to find themselves. To be fully prepared for everything would probably require a full arsenal in your truck.JMHO

Me too except with 00 buck and slugs - I haven't been able to find any found #1. A 12ga JC Higgins (High Standard Flite King) I bought for 50 bucks at a garage sale. It patterns just as good as my Winchester Defender and wouldn't be a big loss should my truck get broken into or stolen.

Ammunition Depot has some but only in 5 or 250 round lots.https://www.ammunitiondepot.com/387-12- ... _buck_shot
