Easy peasy? Man that sounds like work.

I know keeping my truck hardly pays... but it's resale value is so low it doesn't pay to get rid of it either. So buying tabs for the full year every year stinks but now I pull the insurance off when it sits for extended periods- that helps.

Then too, the thing is already sitting there ready to go whereas if I want to efficiently use a trailer I have to get/make a trailer and get/make a hitch and then install it and in addition my stupid State has many categories of trailers yet that require annual license tabs so I might be on the hook for that too. Oops... the truck is probably cheaper!

Er... Frank Lee defending trucks... wth?

Well I do have a huge flatbed trailer that does get used; no way any of the cars or even the Ranger could handle it.
