The Story

Started my landscaping side hustle with a borrowed trailer and a sedan. When I found the Acty for $5,500, I took a chance. Added a small hydraulic dump setup for the bed ($800 kit from Amazon), built custom tool racks from steel tube, and bolted on a receiver hitch for a small utility trailer. My fuel cost went from $400/month with the old truck to under $100. Customers love the little truck — it's a conversation starter at every job site. I've since gone full-time with the business.
