well, you are right, I got that number wrong. I would guess that few of these couldn't also be achieved by, say, minivan with the seats down, given how few trucks have full-size beds (another hint they're not for work).

I have a truck without a full suze bed and use it for (personal) work at least once a week throughout the year, daily during logging and snow plowing season.
I might consider an electric truck, except that even new gas trucks are way outside my budget. It'll be at least a decade or two before even used electric trucks are reasonably priced.

According to your article, 65% of trucks are used for hauling multiple times every year.
