And you could do better, could you?
But let me answer your points:
1) Tyrone has often driven the pick-up truck, so that's established.
2) Tyrone feels responsible - and guilty - for Fiz having to scrimp and save and, essentially, having no joy in her life. The wedding was the only event she's had to look forward to, but he went and ruined the dress she'd got for it. So he drove her in the only vehicle he had available to get an emergency replacement; she might not make the ceremony, but she would be back in time for the reception (people do that I'm told).
3) Tyrone has been seen making enough money from his scrap metal dealing to pay for his cab licence. As we haven't seen him give this up, it's reasonable to assume he might have more than "a fiver" in his pocket.
I realise some viewers have the attention span of a goldfish with Alzheimer's these days. But it is hardly the programme makers' fault -
any programme - if viewers miss the bleeding obvious that has gone before (probably because they're too busy bleating on Twitter or Facebook).
