You don't need a truck. Get rid of it.

Unless you work as a handyman or farmer or something, you don't need a truck. You can ask a friend or rent a trailer for the once in a year occurrence you need to transport something huge.

Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.

I worked as a handyman out of a camry. It is possible, but not pleasant.

It's like telling an office worker that they need to work at a coffee table.

Yes, fair, and to be clear I'm not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.
