If you are a landlord who actually work on your rentals, what is your vehicle of choice for your landlord duties such as:

- Fixing.

fred,

My Guards Red Porsche 911 Targa.

Each time I fire it up it reminds me how I set a goal to reach my DREAM and my hard work paid off. It got me out of the Po’Boy, Paint on My Pants, I’m not CHEAP I’m “Thrifty” attitude and into “Investor/Business Owner”.

It reminds me to delegate because I cannot carry lumber in it.

By delegating, more gets done, faster, and I make more money.

When I took my tools out of my truck my income mushroomed.

PS

As a newbie it was full size Chevy and Pontiace wagons - holds 4x8 sheets, tailgate was a great workbench, roll down the rear window and ladders or long lumber could hand out.

Then moved to minivans with a simple shelf system. The tailgate was a shelter in the rain.

I've got a Nissan NV200SV (my second actually). It's the same class as the Ford Transit Connect.

It's a small van with sliding doors on each side and doors on the back. The main reason I picked it: it's tall enough (only by half an inch) to stand up a 4x8 piece of plywood (although it sticks out the back). Transit Connect or RAM versions couldn't do that.

I've got some workbench drawers on the passenger side behind the slider, and slide out trays on the passenger side out the back.

I've got a hitch for towing. It'll take a roof rack, but I didn't get that.

I get 30mpg, SiriusXM radio and GPS.

It allows me to carry 95% of what I need with me all the time so I make few (but not zero) trips to HD. I carry electrical tool kit, plumbing tool kit, carpentry tools etc. Plus all the little stuff (sand paper, 12" drill bits, stud finder etc) that always seemed to be back in the shop when I was on the road

I could have gotten a bigger van, but I really need something inexpensive and inexpensive to run to get me to the next site.

Mine has long been a pickup truck. When I started I drove a 1980 single cab F-100 with worm gear steering and "three on the tree" stick! (My left knee still hurts when I think of the thousands of times I shifted that truck.) Then as I began making money I started driving a F150 super crew 4X4 and have ever since.

I have an aluminum bed box and although I'm retired now, when we had our apts the backseat usually had a person in it or was full of tools.

I started out with pickups, and moved to an SUV about 15 years ago. Currently a Honda Pilot with roof rack and tow hitch.

I prefer an SUV for several reasons:

Tools and supplies are more secure

Tools and supplies don't get rain on them

Softer ride (hey, I'm getting old)

Better sound system (I guess you could get premium sound in a pickup, but I never did).

Stuff that won't fit inside fits the 5X8 trailer just fine.

Taxes: vehicle taxes are HIGH here in SC. But my trailer is untaxed, go figure. Commercial grade vehicles really take a hit.

More versatile: I can actually haul people if I need to, and I go camping in it. Kayaks on the roof and sleep in the back on an air mattress.

My dream vehicle would be an older Toyota Forerunner, back when they were still on a real frame and came with a tow hitch and roof rack. But I'd have to add Bluetooth.

I'm a simple kind of guy. I don't need a fancy car. I don't want to worry about scratching the paint, and I don't need a third vehicle (wife has another).

I had an 02 focus that died. Now I drive a 95 carolla that came with a house we bought and an 04 Dakota.

I have a Chevy Silverado 2500HD extended cab 4x4 pickup with a utility body, a 7-1/2 ft Fisher plow and ladder rack. It works great for 95% of the time. It has good tool and supply storage as long as they are not too big. Can fit 4x8 size material in the bed and good for hauling trash. Also good for plowing snow.

I’ve got a 07 Dodge Grand Caravan. Stow-n-Go seating, the rear seats and one of the middle seats have been dropped for most of the last few years. The other seat is for Scooter!

I can got most of what I need in it, plus I have a trailer hitch on the van, and a 5x10 trailer to haul other stuff.

2004 Ford Ranger, regular cab, 6 ft bed, 4 cylinder stick shift, almost 245K miles. I have a ladder rack, tool box, and can carry 4x8 sheet goods on top of the wheel wells & on an old tire in the center (or a small bucket/paint cans).

Bought it used a couple years ago for $3K, and plan to keep it as long as possible. I'll have to - they don't make small, simple pick-ups any more : (

I want the truck just to carry stuff - don't want a giant, 4-door cab, I want a bed.

When I carry people, I drive my car. All the new models of trucks seem to have gone "luxury" and have 4 doors & short beds.

Just got a Chevy Colorado crew cab. Back seat for tools and supplies, although it is not as well engineered as my previous Dodge Dakota back seat. In the Dakota the doors opened to a full 90 degrees and the seats flipped up with a flat floor. That allowed lots of bigger stuff to slide in nicely. Also great for groceries and the dog. The Colorado has some weird storage under the seat that is not covered and has a bulge that does not give a flat floor. There also seems to be less leg room between the back and front seat that you can't get stuff on the floor if the seat is down.

I drove a 1994 Cavalier (4 cylinder) for 15 years.

Currently driving a 2004 Cavalier for the last 16 years.

When needed, I pull a 5'x8' utility trailer.

Everyone has their priorities.

No dreams or personal image required or implied.

PS: My riding lawn more is worth more than the car.

I know a filthy rich landlord (in his 80s) who recently bought a RR (an English car).

Three months later the State took his DL, after multiple speeding tickets.

I'm satisfied with my 2009 double-cab Chevy Silverado. I use it because it's the truck we had before we got into ll'ing, but I like it enough to consider getting another when we have to replace it. We had taken it in for a spray-in bedliner, which we like for all of our trucks, and it has a towing hitch for our little flatbed and box trailers. Anything we can't fit in the bed of the truck-- 20' rafters, for example-- I'll pay $25 for delivery. (And by that point, the objects are probably bulky enough that I'd rather get someone to do the heavy lifting for me. The delivery, however, only applies to getting it "onsite", not "in the house".)

Once in a while, I'll have to make two trips... I can only fit about 2, 2.5 pallets' worth of Allure, for example. Or like if I want to buy 20 sheets of drywall and 12 rolls of insulation in the same trip. But for 99.9% of the stuff I need to do, my Silverado is just fine.

I drive a Yukon or an HHR. I can't drive the HHR when there is snow because I am afraid the snow plow will come by while I am away and block the driveway and I won't be able to get the HHR back into the driveway. It will go anywhere that it has clearance, but it doesn't have a lot of clearance.

I have access to a large diesel pickup and a smaller 1/2 ton pickup and a 14 foot fully enclosed cargo trailer and a 10 yard dump trailer, that can be pulled by the large pickup or the Yukon.

For a work vehicle, I love my Ford F-150 long bed. Only seats two (or three if we crowd), but I would not sacrifice the extra length in the bed for a second row of seats.

Need to transport appliances? No problem. Need lumber or ladders or snake or …? No problem.

It is beat up, but on a job site,, it fits right in.

2016 ford transit 250 low roof. Has bays and shelf for tools and parts... can haul 4x8 sheets of anything.

Next time I want a mid or high roof so i can walk in it. Knees are getting old.

99 2wd Tacoma, 92 2wd Toyota pick-up, Soon to switch to a 90 2wd Toyota pickup.

Vans are the best if you actually plan on doing work.

I have a 17 Silverado LTZ, lease is up in 3 months I think I'll get a 20 GMC Sierra Denali next.

I drive a 2004 Silverado with 316,000 miles. Planning to drive it at least through the end of this year which would put me around 330,000.

I have a 99 Chevy Express cargo van with 237,000 miles that my helper/handyman drives. I'm hoping to get it to at least 300,000.

A green Miata and a white Sprinter. Driving the Miata for LL business still feels like I'm cheating somehow.

1994 ranger small pickup good for city streets. Steel tool box, steel lumber rack, step bumper with hitch, upgraded springs, extra tranny cooler, lt tires. 4x8 one ton rated utility trailer for more capacity.

It sure looks like pickups rule. I prefer a van though.

I have a Chevy Express extended body - it can carry 16' lumber, 4x8 plywood standing or laying flat.

In around 1980 there was a movie "Urban Cowboy" and after watching that movie I realized that only a few pickups are "working pickups", but the majority are for show.

Ally, no one outside the my, no, philly area knows what pork roll is!

Like Don said - Trailers. An inexpensive tool. Easy to carry bulky or long stuff and mowers. Bed is low so easy to shuffle appliances.

We leave one at each project for trash.

Added a dump trailer but it needs a lot of muscle to move it.
