    But realistically, how often do you do that? I wanted a truck, then I realized it’s maybe once every 5 years I might need it, and so I got a sedan that fits in parking spots and can travel 800 miles on 16 gallons of gas instead. If I need stuff, I can either get things delivered/hauled or rent a truck if I really need one. Obv, YMMV.

      Every day it’s doing something, be it going 60+mph down a dirt/gravel road to get to town, driving to a jobsite 5 days a week, driving through a foot of unplowed snow in the winter, hauling a trailer to transport wood, palletized items, or other vehicles/large itrems, pulling out semis that get stuck in the mud/snow/ice, driving down two-tracks to the local fishing/hunting/recreation spot, hauling a 30ft camper around for vacations, going grocery shopping, etc.

      The real question is why the hell would I buy something that couldn’t do all these things.
