If you and the wife are deadlocked on the topic of her having her own vehicle or just feeling the need to have the car for "running around" instead of your truck then just let her drive it.
My wife and I found that if we are going less than 100 miles one way it makes sense for her to drive her car and carry our son with her. I take the dogs with me and the trailer ahead of her and get unhooked and set up. This leaves her time to stop for groceries or whatever she does while I am rolling wheels and when they show up the trailer is ready to "live in" right away. The same when we leave but in reverse. She cleans up the trailer while I hang out and relax, then she heads out for home (or the next stop as would be in your case) and I get the trailer hooked up and on the road. While I would prefer if we ran together and we probably would if we did this on a longer trip just for security and in case of a breakdown it works well and since our son is just over 2 years old he is not much for the "wait for daddy to get the trailer set up before you can go in a get..... whatever"! Just a thought, I know it's more gas and wear and tear on another vehicle, but short of getting a motorhome and towing the car or using the truck as your regular vehicle that's about the only option.
