don't think it will hold up to landscaping or roofing work very well

That's where paying for delivery / removal makes sense.

The higher the value of the payload, the more sense it makes to transport it yourself (would be one way of looking at it). Hauling gravel, dirt or a roof tear-off doesn't. Plus where one has to go to obtain or dispose of that kind of load tends to be unpaved, and rough.

My pickup, like most cars, is optimized for on-road. The threatened loss of a $300 tire "pays" for someone else to haul some loads, trailer or no.
