Hey there! Personally, I've heard good things about both GMC and the new Hyundai trucks. They're not too bulky and should handle home projects well. When considering a lease, definitely pay attention to the mileage limits and any potential wear and tear fees. Also, look into the lease term – shorter might be better if you're just using it for projects. And hey, if you're worried about messing up the back, maybe consider a bed liner. Speaking of alternatives, have you thought about
Forklift hire? I think it can be a good option.
