i have both, but the $1200 car sees 5 times the use.
i would also add that trucks are not cheep, not if you get a good one.
i got mine used (toyota tacoma) for $10,000
i'm a real cheep dog but after buying a bunch of $500 to $3000 worn out trucks that i was always working on (the parts store loved me)
i figured i would buy a GOOD used quality truck that would give me years of service.
also when i need to haul a couple ton of scrap metal to the scrap yard
(1 hour round trip) that clearly is a job for a truck. the cluch in my car has never been changed out & has almost 300k on it, don't think it would enjoy pulling much of a trailer.
now it would however pull a super light weight trailer with a light but bulky load on it. for hauling real weight i'll stick with a truck.
