Hmmm, I beg to differ on a lot of things. I only have ONE car. I take all my trash, bottles, cans with it to the dump, Yes I do lay down a tarp if I plan to go to get dirt, t-posts, cement, things like that. But I also don't over fill my trash bags and I don't put liquid in the trash or I don't wait till maggots are hatching to take to the dump. Largest item I have ever hauled was a 16' 4x4 with meter base attached. I've made numinous trips to HD to get toilets, sinks, shower tub and walls... Pluming pipes, Studs and 4x4's. Even a 47" flat screen fit. Had to take it out of the box. But it did fit.
What is my only car? A toyota echo. The only thing I wish I had a truck for are 4x8 sheets of plywood and when I go to costco and sit on a recliner I want to buy. With high gas prices around here that is usually $4 dollars and higher you'll wish you didn't have a truck getting 15-18 mpg. You can get a pretty good deal on a Yaris over here. It's the same car as an Echo and they get around 40+ mpg depending on how you drive it.
Of course if you own 3 acres and plan on gardening 2 of them then yeah a truck would probably be the best for you. I've hauled in a lot of soil to my house in 30/40 lbs sizes. I forgot I was at a garage sale and hauled a 24' extension ladder back. Price was too good to pass up!
was a bit tight but worked out with about 5' hanging out the back trunk. 
I have even entertained the idea of putting a hitch on the car and getting a small 4x6 utility trailer. One can haul just about anything with a small trailer.
