One year I rented a Ford Ranger pickup truck at Ft. Lauderdale, $20 a day.
I drove down to Miami Beach and parked about 4 blocks away from South Beach. A Cuban dude, Ricky Martin type, commented to me after I got out of the pickup that the truck might be able to pull a boat. I guess this is how the "importers"
chat up potential workers for their ocean based import business. I also guess that these jobs have high turnover with a possible "retirement" in the Everglades.

One of my Ranger rentals had multiple rubber "kiddie pools" in the bed. The bed had a locking lid, like a car trunk. I guess no one noticed at the FLL Budget Car return lot.
I figure the previous renter was a local whose business was providing pools for kids parties. When done he just left the pools in the bed. I considered mailing the pool back home but figured the
shipping cost was too much so I just removed the pools and left them in the rental lot.
