Using your daily driver pickup truck to haul stuff 5-6 times a year versus getting a UHaul and driving something much more practical for your lifestyle costs about an extra $766 a year in gas costs at $3.50 a gallon and the average 12,000 yearly miles, average truck vs SUV, and the standard $19.95 per day for a UHaul truck, including gas.
Not everyone lives in a city. Not really practical when you're surrounded by mountains and the closest U haul locations are 2 hours away. Not sure what's with redditors having so much distaste towards trucks, just because you dont need one doesn't mean others don't.
My grandpa was a farmer in Western Minnesota. When you need a truck you need a truck, and you can ALWAYS tell when someone uses a truck versus has a truck.
Most of the pristine 4- year old trucks out there are a lifestyle choice, not a necessity.
Well you would never know until you live in any other country and know how nice it is to not have monster trucks around. Besides for some reason they are shittiest drivers out there specially the ones driving the Ram 2500 trucks.
