        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.

        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?

            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).
