Calls Uncle crazy...yet he's still the first person to call after getting a new piece of furniture or when moving to a new apartment.
Just because its useful once or twice a year doesn't mean it isn't crazy.
Lmao no.
I call my friend with the 10 year old pickup that weighs half as much yet carries just as much.
And with a longer bed because it doesn't waste space with a "luxury cabin."
eh, I rent them when needed because that uncle is unbearable and maybe wants to kill me these days.
I just rent a uHaul for $20.
That doesn't make it a sane choice for day-to-day transportation. If you can afford to have a regular car and a truck on the side for utility, great. Otherwise, why drive this giant polluting POS, which are usually rather expensive to purchase as well as to operate? Trucks aren't that comfortable to drive imo... hard to see in front of you, stop poorly, turn poorly, difficult to park. When you need to move furniture or whatever you can rent one for a day for $40.
I promise you the amount I save on my payment + gas is far more than the amount it costs me to rent a truck the very, very rare occasions I need one. The same goes for the vast majority of American suburbanites.
