Still not sure why he needs a 3/4 ton truck (2500/250) if he is not towing and only making an occaisional trip to Lowes?? The ground clearance on a 3/4 ton vs. a 1/2 ton pickup is marginal at best. A 3/4 ton truck is going to be signifigantly higher in price and probably have more miles on it.
If he likes the utility of a pickup bed but also likes the family hauling ability of a SUV then why not look at Suburbans/Yukon XL which are availible in 3/4 ton or the Excursion, with the seats folded down there is a ton of room for hauling stuff around with the only limit being the ceiling height of the truck.
Once again I stand by my original point of being absolutely no need for a 3/4 ton chassis since he wont be towing or hauling anything on a regular basis.
If it were my choice and I only had $10-15K to spend I would be looking at Silverado/Sierras or Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Yukon XL
