Need a Pickup!

its gotten ridiculous running from home depot and occasionally lowes multiple times a day with my little sedan, especially when i need loads of drywall and pallets upon pallets of heavy ceramic tile.

having spent virtually all my capital on the house and now the rest in materials, would be lucky to scratch up a few thousand to finally invest in the much needed pickup i've decided i really need to complete this job, before i go bankrupt. credit/auto loan aint an option cuz i recently maxed out my cards and have been settling them for less than full once they go to collections.

 i could not bring my truck with me from nyc months ago when i moved to the west coast and left it with my parents for them to use or sell. they sold it.

what are some recommendations for a good used pickup truck suitable for a DIY flipper as well as a landscaper in socal.

i've also turned down enuf landscape jobs already cuz i dont have a truck these days.

help! =D

Consider this yet another vote for a good utility trailer.  I picked up a good used 5x8 trailer for $500 off Craiglist with a 3500# rated axle.  I don't pay insurance on it or put gas in it.  The bed height is lower and much more flexible than a pickup truck bed.
