Do Pickup Truck Sales Make Any Sense?

Most tradesmen (carpenters, glaziers, plumbers, builders, repari contrators, you name it) drive some sort of a truck to carry tools and materials. Many suburbanite DIY types have one truck as a drive to work vehicle so they can move materials for projects on weekends. Many hobbyists (snowmobilers, boaters, motorcyclists) have a truck to tow or carry toys.

In my suburban neighborhood, it is odder to have two cars and no truck. The people who do are largely retirees who have aged beyond doing home and yard projects on their own.

I have been without a truck for two years now, and have had to borrow a neighbor's several times. Guess what my next vehicle will be?
