    If you are only going to have one vehicle get a trailer. You can use a car for everyday driving and get good mileage and have a trailer hauling big loads. Why drive a truck around empty and waste fuel.

    Ditto! Unless you're scrapping full time, stick with a car + trailer rig. No sense in suffering the poorer fuel economy unless you're always loaded up.
