Then there's the fact that if I tow a trailer behind the pickup, I can haul twice as much per trip :-)

PS: And at $2700 (minus the $1100 I got for the older pickup), my '88 Toyota hardly qualifies as expensive, and is huge only in comparison with my Insight. Though oddly enough, I can haul more with it (both weight & volume) than my friends can with their newish F-250 yuppie pickup.

Lol I'd like to see you pull my backhoe with your Toyota. On serious note I have looking to buy an 80's Toyota pickup to toss in a deutz diesel I have laying in my workshop from a burn down skid steer to have as cool truck to put around in.

Now to add to the thread IMO situations are different for most folks but I really advocate trailers a lot small no monthly cost useful good resale values.. Let's face it most people who buy a user trailer can usually get the same money for it after it has served its purpose
