I'm using my Focus. There's almost as much room as an Escape, gets 30+mpg, cheap insurance, cheap maintenance. It can tow 1000lbs which should be adequate enough for a small trailer. I'd like a Ranger but I've got to put too much toward my business to pay for the vehicle as well as the increased costs that go with it. I'm only doing it part time for now and most people come right to my house so I can't justify going out and dropping $25k for with out having the business to back it up. Remember, no matter what you buy, a daily driver/work vehicle is nothing more than a throw away car. There's landscaping guys around here who start out buying a brand new $40k diesel truck and then go bankrupt the next year. If your business can afford a truck, then by all means buy one, but if you're just starting out your money is best spent elsewhere.
lots of space without the seats
