Once upon a time I knew someone with a small contracting business. Needed to move sheets of plywood and tools and whatnot around town. Anyway, fed up with one of the pick ups breaking down, he wound up at a used dealer to replace it. He ended up leaving with a wagon instead of a truck, and later on replaced the other trucks he had with wagons. Seems to be a win, it's been about a decade now.

I got the Kia Soul EV for that reason. That poor little "SUV" had more 2*4 and assorted furniture and metal in it that probably 99% of other Souls ever do in their lives. The roof carpet was trashed, the side wall plastic was shaved and scraped, the back of the seats were ripped....

It's true even my smaller truck does almost all I need and is overkill 30% of the time. But you have to be flexible.

I always enjoy hearing of people that use their vehicles as the tools they are. Cheers.
