But if you're never using the truck to haul stuff because it's a pain the butt, then why own a truck in the first place? I'm just not seeing any advantage a truck has over a car if you're not using it to move cargo anyways.

It makes no sense. You can rent half tons and cargo vans by the hour in every Home Depot. For the $50 bucks you would pay 2 or 3 times a year, you would save 20X over on fuel saving if you owned a Hyundai Accent. But some guys just like the macho feel of a truck, but won't admit it. They will make a million excuses as to why they need one, and it is usually half a dozen times a year in reality, which could easily be covered by renting, and in he end saving a pile of cash.
But it is the same argument as why do I have a gas sucking 1500cc motorcycle, when I could ride a 100cc scooter, and get the same net effect.
I would rather live in a world with soccer dad of 1 Ford Super Duties and 2000cc boulevard cruisers, than one with a sea of Hyundai Accents and Honda Sprees. Because any world where Accents and Sprees are the dominant forms of transpiration, is not one in which I want live in.
