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

I had a 4wd f150, but had to sell it due having a wife and two kids, and being the only one working. Bought a minivan and I drive her mid size SUV. It just wasn't financially viable. 12 mpgs around the city was insane. Like someone else posted, there is 2-3 times a year I could use it. Not worth the 70-80 bucks a week to fill it up, and maintenance that goes with a large truck. The minivan's 3rd row stows, so I can fit 15 bags of mulch in it.

ETA:

As soon as I can afford it, I will probably get a 4 door Tacoma, or similar truck. I just love having a truck. Probably won't need it, but I can see me taking my boys camping on the reg.
