I have no trash pickup where I live so I bought a used, homemade utility trailer to haul stuff to the dump. A big plus is that I can fill multiple trash cans (I like the old aluminum ones best, as they are so light) and only need to haul once or twice a month.
However, having a utility trailer has also come in handy in many other ways - from hauling small boats, to moving substantial amounts of dirt, to transporting many bushels of apples that I scrounge from miles around.
I'd love an electric F-150 but for the foreseeable future I'm happy being the guy with a trailer as long as, and wider than, the Subaru hauling it.
I'm in Australia, we call them utes.
I've had a couple utes, but I'm much happier with my long wheelbase VW T5 Transporter (auto, turbo diesel) and a small trailer with removable hurdles and gate.
