One of the bosses at my work has a massive Fall Guy truck, and often has huge items delivered to work, just so he has an excuse to use it.
"You won't get that in the back of a Fiesta"
That's right dickhead, because we'd have the items delivered to our homes.
Or, and hear me out, I can rent a truck for the one time a year I need one. 20 bucks for a few hours from uhaul vs.... 20,000 more for a big truck over a commuter car.
That's what I keep thinking about. Like sometimes I would love an older, smaller styled truck. It could be really useful, but it sucks they aren't really an option anymore.
But then I think about it, and how often would I use it? I just bought a TV and had to have it delivered because it wouldn't fit in our car. We recently moved, and it would have been great.
But other than that, I honestly can't think of any time recently I've needed it.
If practical a trailer is a good option. Get a tow hitch and just rent a trailer when you need. Moved house with my Suzuki and a 6x4 enclosed trailer.
But remove the tow hitch before reselling the car because the buyer might try to argue extended wear on your car through towing stuff
You'd be surprised what I fit in my Yaris hatchback
For real I had a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon a while back. Went to a tool consignment store. Saw a full sized tablesaw with stand. Owner told me he’d give me $25 off if I could fit the whole thing in my Tiburon…and I did. And it wasn’t even hard.
Fr; I have a tiny CRZ coupe, but when I fold the back buckets down I can fit a tremendous amount of stuff in my car, even awkward and unwieldy-shaped things
