Sometimes your line of work calls for a giant 4wd pickup but thats not the case for most of us.

This is a thread for anyone thinking about getting a large pickup truck as a second vehicle or replacing their smaller pickup with a bigger, much lower MPG pickup when adding a trailer would do.

I bought my hinged fold up "bolt together northern tool trailer" for $360.
I use a similar trailer from Harbor Freight with the optional 12" wheels. I've had it going on 20 years now. I find that if I need anything bigger, it's cheaper to rent a U-Haul or Home Depot pickup truck for a day.

<edit> I just checked, and I built and registered it in 1998!
