Fuck trucks. I remember the Ranger it was barely bigger than a minivan. These things are obscene. People who own them don't need them. Most people don't even need trucks. People like to cosplay that they live up a 25 degree incline of muddy, rocky road. But a subaru would be just fine and IS in most of the world.
Rent a truck the few times a year you actually need it instead of having it for your ego.
You use a truck every day for your business and you think this discussion is about you?
I use a truck for trucking and I get down votes for expressing an opposing view. This is how ecko chambers exist...
You get downvotes for demonstrating that you do not understand the view you are opposed to. The contention is that given the recent explosion of popularity of pickup trucks, the majority of truck owners do not use their vehicles for purposes beyond normal commuting and thus have no need for the excess danger, emissions, and annoyance of pickup trucks. So by chiming in with "I own a truck and actually do use it for truck things", you contribute nothing to the discussion
OH OH OH! I've been waiting for this moment! In 2018 I successfully fit a king size matress in a Subaru Outback 2.5l. It just fit, and I had to push my seat up quite a bit but it worked.
You can fit more lumber in a minivan than a Ram with the sausage party cab.
