We bought several vehicles this year do I need to make separate accounts for each one?

Hello,

This year we purchased 2 enclosed trailers and 2 used vehicles all with loans. Do I have to make separate asset, liability and interest (expense) accounts for each asset? or can I group all vehicles under one truck loan/interest paid account and the same with both trailers?

Thanks
