>>1987574What percentage of trips spent hauling or towing would soothe your asspain about truck ownership? Every truck owner I know uses it for home projects-- lumber, seed and soil, tools and equipment, furniture, etc. They also often help out friends and relatives who need hauling but don't own a truck.
But they also either don't bother to own a second small car, or leave it for wife/kids while they use the truck as the primary vehicle for getting around. So any given day you might see the truck empty, but that doesn't mean it's never used.
