Right now there aren't great alternatives, but I'd stress that the full ownership model of a $100k+ fuel-gulping mini-monster-truck that has specific beast-of-burden uses like this is in 95% of cases nonsense. If these owners really make use of these vehicles to any extent >12 times a year, I tend to believe they are far above average users.
Ideally there'd be better systems for outright collective ownership, that would make sense & have some safeguards against potentially less than good co-owners. Alas most collective ownership propositions come with a tragedy of the commons, an inability to assess who are the good & bad players & ways for the good to hold.
- iancmceachern 4y agoI agree, my wife and I are one of these super users. We ironically have a diesel f250, we live in San Francisco and I bike or take public transportation for nearly all my day to day travel needs, as well as my commute to work. As soon as we find an electric or alternative fuel truck that meets our needs (tow ~10k lbs ~400 miles in a day) we will switch to it.
