Yep. I've got a Civic for driving and a small pickup for hauling. Last week I hauled 6 feet worth of kitchen cabinets, a month ago it was 18 boxes (450 sf) of flooring. It's good to have a truck

When I need to haul larger stuff (4x8), I know plenty of people with full size trucks that I can bribe with extra gas money

Payment? What's that? The beauty of driving older cars is not having to pay a note. Sock away $100/mo for maintenance/surprises.
