Pickups make sense when you need to tow a trailer that's in excess of 2,000-3,000lbs.

This is where slimp technology has really fallen flat in recent years. Priinocchio can easily handle several times it's own weight, but I'm limited by the Class I hitch.
When finances allow, I'm going to speak with a welder about designing a slimp and hitch to match.
