    That’s my big thing. They always claim they need a truck to do truck things, but the vast amount of truck beds I see are empty. I don’t own a truck, but still need to do truck things sometimes. When I do I pay around 40 bucks to rent one for the day, do all my truck things, then return it. Idk, maybe I’m crazy but I’ve spent maybe a few hundred doing that, that seems like a better deal than 80k

      I’ll counter argue! Felt the same about these monster Barbie trucks here in the South. Working Lowe’s for a few months changed my mind a bit.

      Guys would pull in with these monsters hauling a trailer. And we would load hella rocks and boards. Laughed with the customer and lumber guy one night, “You gonna need to come back for the rest tomorrow!”

      But still, I get it. My wife’s Outback has a trailer hitch and I’m not afraid of pulling on it. Towed my boat home with a Mitsubishi Eclipse. Used to ride with the top down and a load of lumber in the back!
