I don’t know your car, it’s possible. I’m not here to judge people on their needs analysis, I’m here to judge people for not doing a needs analysis.
The point is people should buy vehicles based on needs not wants. The chance of maybe towing a thing up a hill one time in a 15 year vehicle lifetime is probably not a satiasficing for a vehicle that’s primarily used to travel 8.7km each way for a commute and a 1.8km round trip for groceries 5.43 times per month. (Canadian figures).

That’s quite some reach.
Any time I’ve needed an earth mover, it was always delivered? Who’s out there picking up a earth movers themselves?
The people who deliver them?
I don’t any earthmovers, that’s a real high cap item; everyone I know who owns one has a specific job/jobs for it, and it’s always a skid steer.
I’m more generalist and I’d need to own a fleet to cover any given project.
Edit: I think I misread this. The equipment comes on a flatbed with a tractor, not on a pickup.
They do have a real truck, not a pickup and a trailer.

Sorry, when I hear earthmover I think backhoe, grader, skid steer, not wood chipper.
Regardless, sounds like your civic met the need instead of a RAM 2500 super-duty?
