Yeah, SOME OF THEM need trucks.

Technically, I've already proven that I can get away without a truck for most things I do, but I'd like to expand my services, which is part of the reason I bought a truck. Plus, we have my wife's car, so it's not like the truck is a DD.

If you've seen the things I've hauled in my minivan, you already know I don't really NEED a truck, but I'm willing to take the mileage hit for the convenience of having an open bed to load, rather than trying to fit a 1,000 lb motorcycle into a minivan.
