I'm starting this season, and want to get the best for my buck.
Factors: I'll need to rent a storage unit for equip, or park at my apt complex (thieves possible?). Also, this will be the fams second vehicle so having it available off-hours is relevant. I have never bought/owned a truck beofre so have no idea which models/engine sizes are better/worse.
Option One: Get a pickup (need suggestions as to which would be best) and modify it to be a flatbed (not sure what mower(s) I'll have, but is the regular bed big enough for any commercial mowers?)
Downside: Need to load/offload equip daily to use truck otherwise.
Option Two: Truck and trailer. Keep trailer with equipment on it in storage unit.
Downside: Backing a trailer into a storage unit????
Option Three: An enclosed truck or van. Eliminates need for storage unit (?) What models do you recommend?
Downside: Carrying everything with me everywhere.
I'm open to other options......
Thanks in advance!
