My $0.02: you have a home depot or a rental yard then you have a rentable truck with a trailer hitch. Believing you do your own work, it will still cost you tires, some brake parts, gas tank flushing and whatnot to get it semi reliable. For that money you can rent what ever big GM/Ford/Dodge/Toyota pickup perhaps many times and still be ahead $$$. You COULD buy a vehicle that makes 60 ish mpg, but you are an Ecomodder. Saving dollars is a supposed benefit.
