See that's what gets me. You need a very specifically large load that is (in my experience) extremely rare. In the gas savings alone you could just rent a truck when you need to move gravel or large furniture and not scratch up your $90,000 truck.

It costs like $30 to rent a box truck from home depot to take a big load home. I can get a few sheets of plywood on my Outback with a couple ratchet straps and not going over 40 lol.

Hell a roof rack on my 20 year old 3 series and a ton of rope has moved sofas, plywood and pallets, and one memorable trip 5 bikes

The people I know with expensive trucks still get everything delivered anyway. There's always some excuse why their super versatile amazingly useful truck isn't quite the right tool for the job, but somehow it's always the right tool to drive around town to their office job or the grocery store. Literally makes zero sense, ever.
