Most of my needs require a proper truck. I rent a small car (or fly) for
the small number of long, non-cargo trips I do.
If I were to do as you suggest and rent a truck, it would at least
double my operational costs, in addition to wasting literally weeks of
my time dealing with rental pickups, returns, delays, not having the
vehicle I need available, etc. If renting a truck or using a trailer
meet your needs, that's fine, but don't try to impose your limited needs
on others.
