re: Spinoff for those who do not have trucks... How do you get by without one?

I have an SUV, so it's not quite like I can't get anything around. But I really only need a truck a few times a year. And I just lay the back seats down and use a sheet to protect everything. If I really didn't have access to borrow a truck and couldn't do that, renting a truck from a big box hardware store or U-Haul isn't all that expensive.
