I'm the same, i like the way my truck looks. Is it great these days? Nope it's an old 08 with a little rust, ok a lot but hush, i love it anyway. Do i need a truck 97% of the time? Nope but that 3% of the time i do its amazing. And those people i pull out of random ditches in the winter will appreciate it I'm sure.

My cousin has a pickup and I won't lie, it's very handy to have one truck you can use in the family. He's made ramps that fit his truck perfectly, makes loading and unloading furniture from it a breeze. He's added hooks for snatch blocks, I swear he can tie down literally anything. We wouldn't have that if we rented because the truck would be different every time. He's probably moving someone in the extended family once a month. Granted he owns his own contracting company so he uses it daily. That all said there is value in a few generous people having trucks around. Emphasis on the few, especially in urban areas.
