I would measure my pickup first and possibly lengthen it to 24' as I know my suburban measures 19' and I would think an extended cab crew cab pickup as many have, would be close, obviously your choice. If your in well drained soil already I would throw down a 8-12" of clean compacted sand. Poor a 4" thick 4500 psi mix. Order at at least 7% air entrainment. Install 1/2 rebar 24" on center. Run it both ways tie it and place on chairs(busted up concrete block works well)to hold it up to correct height. Get plenty of help and poor this mix relativly dry. (3"slump) Pick your day cool temps, clouds and little wind. Pushing the weather and help factor because you want the lowest water cement ratio you can work with and still get finished. Adding water to increase workability will weaken your mix. Cure slowly for 3-4 days, keep the top moist and covered with wet burlap or cover with curing compound. Always been an age old debate about using mesh. Personally, I just came back from my 4th week of bridge construction class. Looked at plan after plan of multi-million dollar bridges. NO mest to be found in ANY part of those structures. In frost areas a floating slab structure will crack, the close 1/2" bars helps ensure the impending cracks stay tight and the sections stay in the same plane. Good Luck!
