large truck vs small truck?

I *still* have my Tacoma 2.4L. You know, it gets the job done most of the time, and I have a 4x8 trailer just in case. I grew from just a truck, and then needed a trailer. If, on the off chance I need to haul a huge amount, I go rent a truck. 20 foot penske with a lift gate cost me $50 for the day last time I got one. Filled the whole thing up with stuff that was free. By the end of the day, I had run 2 tons of shred into the yard and that wasn't close to the majority of the money...definitely worth renting.
