I bought into this thought and downsized my vehicle. Then I realized just how much of a pain in the ass renting a pickup truck is. Most rental agencies focus on business trips out whatever. They have plenty of sedans, but no pickups. U-Haul is the only consistent place to rent one. They take terrible care of their shit. The first two trucks they presented had broken turn signals. The third was burning oil. They had no other options.

Home Depot has decent truck rentals in my experience. Also their work vans are quite good. I've paid $44 CAD for a rental for work I needed to do within a day.
