Meanwhile I bet a prius will carry 99% of what they put in it

Oh, they would never put anything in it. That might scratch the bed.

They brag about being able to carry stuff then get one of those stupid long cab short beds that are good at nothing

Hey, they aren't good at nothing. They excel at killing pedestrians.

The Tesla Cybertruck will certainly be the ultimate truck for killing kids.

Yes but at least the blood will be easier to wipe off of the stainless steel.

My Subaru Forester with a roof rack hauls almost anything short of large furniture or a yard of gravel.

See that's what gets me. You need a very specifically large load that is (in my experience) extremely rare. In the gas savings alone you could just rent a truck when you need to move gravel or large furniture and not scratch up your $90,000 truck.

It costs like $30 to rent a box truck from home depot to take a big load home. I can get a few sheets of plywood on my Outback with a couple ratchet straps and not going over 40 lol.

Hell a roof rack on my 20 year old 3 series and a ton of rope has moved sofas, plywood and pallets, and one memorable trip 5 bikes

The people I know with expensive trucks still get everything delivered anyway. There's always some excuse why their super versatile amazingly useful truck isn't quite the right tool for the job, but somehow it's always the right tool to drive around town to their office job or the grocery store. Literally makes zero sense, ever.

Hitch and a trailer is how I deal with that with my Crosstrek.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've been seriously considering getting a hitch and a light trailer. It would be more than sufficient for nearly everything we do, especially if it could haul a motorcycle when needed.

Does the remaining 1% get resold by shady people in back alleys? "Hey you, you want a deal on 1% of some produce from a farmer's market? Fell off the back of a Prius."
