I'd rather own an small SUV & trailer. It's way more useful & practical. I can load a compact tractor, lawn tractor, ATv, or UTV on my small trailer with ease. If I buy a yard of gravel, I don't cringe when they dump it in my trailer with their loader. If I am taking a small boat to lake, I'd rather have my extra gear inside a SUV instead of the back of a truck.
Hauling large dogs - I prefer an SUV. Dead deer - I might prefer the truck for that, but my trailer has that covered, too.
I get it that you have many acres of property to maintain, as well as you eat meat. Good for you!
You keep busy eh? I prefer to read. Only so much time to spare.
But anyway my philosophy with my Mirage is: to stuff it as much as possible and buy no other vehicle.
Used and broken door to the dump? Cut it in half first! Get those ingenuity juices flowing for a few more years.
I loved it the other month I took my car to my county's 'toxic chemicals/paint cans recycling day.' The one guy was like "this car has a ton of stuff in it." The suburban in front of me looked like it had half a house worth of stuff in it, none destined for recycling.
Yep, many litres of storage in my rear hatchback!
