To each their own. I owned a truck for several years (GMC 3/4 ton). I found it to be an awful vehicle - piggish, difficult to maneuver in traffic, difficult to park, terrible on gas, impractical in virtually all respects. People also tend to overstate the effectiveness of 4x4 in snow. Pickups are terrible - there's no weight over the rear axle. Also, consider that as soon as you have one, you'll start getting requests from "friends" to help them move stuff. It's a pain having to tell people "no" all the time.
Never again.
I rent one when I need one. Dirt cheap nowadays and I don't have any remorse about loading the snot out of one with whatever I need to haul. I recently did this with a few cords of firewood. Sprayed the back out with a pressure washer when done and returned it. They were none the wiser. I think it cost me 40 bucks.
But if you really like them, go ahead.
