An honest question from someone without a car or a driving license: why exactly were you renting/borrowing these SUVs and trucks? Where does the need come from, what were you transporting?
Home Depot will rent you a Ford 250 for an 75 minutes for $19. I've done this a few times and it's a great option for the once or twice a year you actually need to haul something heavy.
