Bought a 99 F150 manual and a V6 to build my first house. Averaged 20 MPG and most I hauled was 2k pounds. The rear springs were 1 inch from the bump stops at that payload.

It weighed 3800 pounds empty. Sold it when the house was finished. Sold the house 3.5years later for a 165k free and clear profit.

Bought a Tundra when I built the second house, V6 and AT. Averaged 19 MPG and sold it when the house was finished. 160k in the house and it is assessed at 330k today.

My brother has a 10k capacity dump trailer and a truck that can haul it around. Hasn't been used in months, since the local dumps will pick up and haul all of the trash even tons of construction debris.
