Yeah I was mostly just poking a bit of fun lol. I don't really agree with the sentiment that transporting flatpack furniture is the exact scenario for a 22 ft. long vehicle though. Like, IKEA furniture is explicitly designed to be light, compact, and easy to transport so that you don't need a large vehicle to haul it. That being said, bringing your giant pickup truck to transport IKEA furniture is certainly a better use for it than a daily single-passenger commute.
