Yup. I considered getting a Ford Lightning as a commuter to make those trips to the hardware or furniture store easier, but honestly, my minivan works fine. I've probably hauled more things in my minivan than my neighbors have hauled with their trucks. I've done dump runs, hauled furniture, hardware store runs, etc. The few times I've needed a truck I just rented one for the day for $30-40.
And my minivan gets crappy mpg, but it's still ~20, which is better than most trucks. And it hauls my three kids and their friends pretty effectively.
