When I lived in Texas I didn't need a truck all the time. But when I did, it was critical.

I found that since I didn't need it most of the time the Home Depot Truck Rental for a couple of hours shifting freezers, flooring and other bulky items worked out well for me.

Saved on gas all the rest of the time.

But it really requires a Home Depot within 30 mins so not for everyone and if this had been an option, I probably would have just gone for the truck.
