And yes, of course it’s absurd, that’s the point. Literally no one would spend the extra money to buy a truck to avoid the hassle of renting one once in 5 years. If you only rent a truck once a year, it’s probably still not worth it to buy a truck instead of renting one. If you’d be renting a truck every weekend, it’s probably worth it.
Or if you need a truck infrequently but on an emergency basis to e.g. trailer a colicing horse to a vet, you might not be able to rent a truck when you need one.
In surveys, only 25% of truck drivers tow more than once a year. Only 65% of truck drivers put anything in the bed more than once a year.
Yeah, big vehicles are pretty handy sometimes. They’re pretty great if you have horses in your back yard; you can buy bedding by the pallet or buy 40 bales of hay. But according to truck drivers, a lot of them say they’re driving pavement princesses. They want a truck for the aesthetics of being a truck driver, but if they had a hatchback instead they’d be renting a truck at most once or twice a year.
Big trucks can also be kinda inconvenient. They don’t fit into garages anymore, long bed 4 door trucks have the turning radius of a barge, and it’s pretty annoying if you want to take one of those fiberglass bed covers on and off a lot.
You are completely out to lunch, my friend.
So if you actually need a truck once in 5 years, would you really spend an extra ~$11k to avoid having to rent it?
Did you forget to switch accounts or something? Why are you replying to yourself?
Also, what a ridiculous scenario. Big vehicles come in handy far more often than you think.
