I don’t get it. Why would you buy, maintain, and park an entire second vehicle for something that is beyond trivially cheap to hire out?

If you wanted to DIY then renting a truck for the day makes more sense.

Trivially cheap, huh? Wish I were so lucky.

Renting a vehicle invites bureaucratic nonsense. For my personal situation, I need it ready to go at virtually a moments notice or I'll simply just avoid the chore.
