    A trailer isn’t out of the question, it just adds a whole new level of inconvenience. It’s extra time to move the car, hook up the trailer, verify the electrical is working (I always check left-right-breaks-4way whenever I connect a trailer), then parking the trailer, disconnecting it, then parking the car. I know it doesn’t sound like much, but that time quickly adds up, and it can get 35+ in the summers and -30 in the winters (Celsius). When getting the kid ready to leave for daycare it’s easier to load up in the relatively comfortable garage. I know that’s a first world problem, but a truck would just simply all of that.

    To be clear, I’m not getting a truck because they’re as expensive as a sports car now, but the point stands.

      Yes you like the convenience of it. Noones saying they aren’t convenient. Its not only about your personal convenience, because cars affect everyone nearby.

      Theres a reason they cost so much, and will continue to raise as the price gets closer to its actual cost to create and use one.

      And I know you know this, because you ended the post saying that if you didnt have the truck now, you wouldn’t buy another one. Have you actually thought this through or is it just some automatic cognitive dissonance reaction from owning a truck?

        I think it has more to do with your reading comprehension and thinking I said anywhere that I own a truck.
