>>2276602>so if I own a truck I can skip the whole cost and hassle of renting a U-Haul and then having to come back and get my car somehowYou can get a car trailer from U-Haul and use their truck to pull it and bring all your stuff, (if you're confident of your towing abilities) which will be cheeper then buying a new ride, which you can probably get cheeper when you get to wherever you plan on living.
Dunno how old you are but people tend to have more stuff then they think and unless you're willing to drastically thin the herd, a pick-up truck won't really haul that much.
