Which object will accelerate more if the same force is applied to both a pickup truck or a trctor-trailer truck?
Whichever is lighter will accelerate more quickly.
Why is a truck harder to stop than a car?
A truck, except possibly a small pickup truck, will have more mass (weight) than typical cars. This means that for a given velocity, it has more momentum (kinetic energy) that will have to be opposed or removed in order to reduce its speed. The braking systems will have to dissipate more energy to stop the vehicle, and even with larger brakes, they will have to be applied over more time and the truck will travel more distance before it stops. A large truck can also do much more damage if it hits another vehicle or obstruction.

A tow truck exert a stronger force than the car it is towing?
It depends on which conditions you are considering. If a tow truck stays then a force is the same for the car and truck. If it is moving forward or backward then the force which is effecting the truck is more because it has to spend some work to move. To understand this process I were you I would draw force diagram and check different conditions of movement.
A small car like a Honda Civic is in a head-on collision with a Hummer Using Newtons Laws explain why the passengers in the small car are more likely to be injured than those in the Hummer?
In a collision both objects experience the exact same forces. The difference is the force threshold of each object. A hummer has a greater force threshold than a small car. The same idea is present when a bug hits a windshield. The bug hits the car with the same amount of force as the car hits the bug, but the bug has a much lower force threshold which is why it gets crushed.
Why does a truck have more kinetic energy than a small car that is moving the same speed of the truck?
a matter of mass
Any recommendations for small trucks I should purchase?
I great small truck would be a Dodge Dakota. They are small but very durable, able to hall more like a bigger truck but they are a bit more compact but still enough room that you are not cramped.
Why does a truck carrying a heavy load move uphill slower than an empty truck even though the engine exerts the same force?
Because the force is acting to move the greater weight. A fully loaded large truck may weight 87,000 lbs more than the empty truck. More work must be performed to move that greater weight.
Which has more momentum a large truck moving at 30 miles per hour or a small truck moving at 30 miles per hour?
The large truck.
How can the sun have a large gravitational force on the earth but a small force on you?
Earth has more mass.
Example for newton's thrid law of motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.Example: The flying motion of birds is a good example of the Newton's third law. The wings push the air downwards. In turn the air reacts by pushing the wings (and therefore the bird) upwards. The size of the force on the air equals the size of the force on the bird; the direction of the force on the air which is downwards is opposite the direction of the force on the bird which is upward. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Tricky Question: Consider what happens when a small car collides with a heavy truck. Does the truck exert more force on the car, or does the car exert more force on the truck? Answer: Neither. They both exert the same amount of force on each other (Newton's Third Law). The car's acceleration is more dramatic because the same force is being applied to a smaller mass.
What has more inertia a large truck or a small car?
momentum is velocity multiplied by weight so if a small car weighs less than a large truck then it just needs to go faster to aquire the same momentum.
