Lack of Truck -- Solved

by the fact that there is no longer a lack...

Definitely makes carrying the kayak easier than it was previously!

Why don't $3k trucks seem to exist?

I need a small truck that can carry my recreational / outdoor equipment. That means the bikes, kayak, camping gear, etc... Unfortunately, it seems like you have to spend 8-10 grand to get a decent used pickup these days. Anybody have any brilliant ideas or hot leads that aren't potentially-stolen goods on Craigslist?
