Give a private sale a try. Maybe consider a late model Civic. I have recently rented a truck from Home Depot [3 times] to pick up gravel, stone dust and pavers, and each time I was able to use it for an hour and a half for $30--no surprises! I was able to get my stuff and satisfy my macho urges!
Good luck, your husband sounds like a mensch!!! Bubba would not give up his truck.

What is a mensch?

Edited: Thank you, I just looked up "mensch". Yes, he is one!
