They might be better served by doing the math, and realizing that they are far better off buying an economical vehicle at a much lower price point and for much lower maintenance and fuel costs, and then renting a heavy duty vehicle to tow their boat the few times a year they actually need to.
One should optimize for the most common use case.
- monknomo 11y agoThe trouble with that idea is that it is very difficult to rent a heavy duty vehicle for towing. Most rentals explicitly disallow towing or other types of heavy usage.
- toomuchtodo 11y agoI own a Toyota Tundra for those times I needed to tow, but am trading it in for a Model X (5000 lbs towing capacity).
