I get that many contractors need a big pickup truck. I also get that many do not. Take my father in law. He owns a flooring company. He drives his Duramax diesel all over the city measuring floors and golfing. It would be a good truck for hauling rolls of carpet and boxes of flooring, but that's what his delivery truck is for - a small cab over Mitsubishi with a van body (that gets 13-15 mpg, which is ridiculously good for what it is!). He could do his job with a Prius V.
BUT........
Canadian tax rules. You cannot own a business only vehicle that has more than two doors.
Plus, he does need to look the part for contractors. The construction trade is dumb for having the "big diesel pickup" expectation in the first place. Remnants from an obsolete past?
