I don't drive that much. Why would I buy a sedan and give myself the hurdle of arranging to rent a pickup any time I need one? If I must own a vehicle, why not make it one that provides utility?

Because the fuel efficiency on pickup trucks is terrible. You could double your fuel costs by driving a truck all the time.

So if you're going on a long trip, just rent a car.

That's an argument for not owning a car at all, actually.

Or arrange to use my wife's car or my brother's van. So many options.

No. Sell your truck and get a car. You're not allowed to have a truck.
