Screw the math. Renting a truck twice a month, even if cheaper than owning, is a huge hassle.

In other words, you probably are fine paying a little more to not have to get a ride to the rental yard, fill out the paperwork, decline the damage waiver add-on, etc. Then have to do that all again when you're done with the truck.

I don't own a truck, and it sucks sometimes when I want to do some yard work, or buy a large appliance/furniture on craigslist. If I add just one more use case to my life (more frequent camping, or larger projects), I'm going to go buy a truck and eliminate another hassle.

Uhaul allows pickup via app now. Not as smooth as Zipcar, but it does work. The added $1/mile adds up super quick though, and seems antiquated compared to all other types of car rental.

I would pay a fair bit of money to not have to regularly deal with UHaul...

Get a utility trailer instead. They cost much less than a truck and can be used on any vehicle with a hitch.
