I hope you are aware that Sweden is pretty big, and Luleå is rather far 
north... It's about 900km from Stockholm... It will take a very long day 
to just drive one way with a pick up... You'd need a minimum of two days 
for a trip there and back from Stockholm. If you live further south in 
Sweden, you might want to add another day to it.

(I'd probably use three days just from Stockholm, if I were to estimate 
things...)
