    I’m not arguing that. You have a fair point.

    But my argument about a use case for a truck isn’t about MY truck (I don’t have one), it was merely about the valid use for owning a truck.

    I’m getting by right now by wrecking the inside of my car (it’s already done). I looked at getting a roof rack, but the quote I got was around $1400. But that only would help with getting new drywall. Not broken up garbage drywall, and wouldn’t help with bags of garbage.

      I know you don’t have a truck. As I said, I read your comments.

      I still don’t understand your other issues. They seem like they’d be solved with a tarp and good garbage bags (that keep smells contained). I haul garbage and yard waste all the time in my Golf.

      A truck wouldn’t be a panacea for your issues either. Truck beds also get scratched up and if you’re responsible you’d have to secure your loads.

        I’m not getting a truck. I’m not in the market for a truck. All I said was “here’s a good use case for a truck”. I’m not looking for suggestions or help. This wasn’t meant to be a round table discussion to fix my predicament.

        It was just a counterpoint to “all trucks are stupid”.

          All I said was “here’s a good use case for a truck”.

          And all I said was it’s not a good use case for a truck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

            Ok, fair. But I know people who need a truck because they have nowhere to store a trailer. A friend of mine works in construction and uses his truck for carrying materials, tools, hauling away garage, etc. And he lives in an apartment.
