I posit the ideal is three (often used, room for them notwithstanding):

-sedan for commutes

-suv for bench seats/cargo and typical awd/4x4 secondary

-truck for towing toys, bed hauling the things your wife made a deal for at a garage sale, going to the dump, firewood, bla bla bla, going for rides and looking cool when the weather’s nice

Two cars are always available if one breaks down, or bad weather, whatever. Can trade space and hassle for money if you’re willing to deal with repairs if the used rigs are old.
