    Thats a reasonable use case for a truck. The majority of hate I have for trucks are for more city based people who claim they totally need it when they maybe move something 2-3 times a year.

    That said, a small trailer could probably handle your garbage behind an SUV or capable car. Although it would still require more parking than the truck so the benefits overall are arguable.

      This obviously varies based on where you live, but using a trailer where I’m at incurs a ton of extra costs: *Landfill charges extra when using a trailer to bring your trash. *Tollway charges extra for the trailer *State charges annual property tax on the trailer Granted, I have an ‘04 regular cab Chevy Colorado (before they started making them as huge as half tons of years past), but I’m dreading the day it dies. There are no small pickups available anymore (Santa Few and Maverick’s 4.5’ bed is worthless for my use case).

        I think this argument is a losing battle on this community. It’s clear there is no room for nuance or reason.
