Do Pickup Truck Sales Make Any Sense?

This past June I sold the pickup I purchased to when I needed pull a 5th wheel trailer. That need disappeared, but the need for the utility of a pickup did not. I also own a diesel VW Jetta that really does get 45 to 50 mpg (Hybrid, who needs a hybrid?). My solution was to put a light duty trailer hitch on the Jetta and I now have a small 4x8 trailer that I hook up whenever I take trash to the dump, move stuff, bring home mulch, get firewood, etc. I now call the combined VW/Trailer my 50 mpg 1/2 ton pickup. Works fine and the 95% of the time I don't pull the little trailer (which holds as much as any 1/2 ton truck) I get some of the best mileage available and it is a breeze to park. Think outside the box.
