Thom,
What kind of stuff? maybe I'm just not thinking it thru.

I have a 94 Toyota we call the mulch truck. We use it mostly to haul mulch, pick up lumber, building materials, etc. We only use it for hauling stuff. While it does have a/c, it does not have power steering or anything that comes close to an "option", and it is just a bear to try to park. It didn't even have a radio when I bought it.
