I've hooked a trailer to my fuckin jetta, my sister still has a trailer hooked to her civic. There are other countries that have workers who do the same thing you are doing, but with practical sized vehicles.
Growing up we had a 1950's model ford, and a 1990's Chevy s-10 as our two farm trucks. I drove that S10 starting at 11 years old. We had the big tractor and the little one. More than enough to get the job done. Dont know why you'd want to move used oil in the same truck you drive to the clinc, but that's a choice.
I grew up likely with similar people/way of life you did and yet my opinion is different. Doesn't mean I'm not informed. My jetta pulled a motor boat to a lake. Little vr6 with big fuckin balls. My sister is building her own house by hand, and uses her civic with a trailer. Other nations/cultures favor vans to harbor tools and such.
Im mostly seeing vanity trucks with four foot beds out in my small rural community, bordered by university "small city". My redneck uncles back in the 90s even agreed extended cabs were for yuppies, and my god how the culture has changed.
