That's what the majority of (sedans masquerading as) trucks are used for anyway.
Pavement Princess or emotional support vehicle. Really hate the area I live in currently, my street is cluttered with them.
I am starting to see them as well makes me glad seeing how battered my Honda Civic looks these days. My car got shit done all those trucks were just there as a penis size compensation device
Yeah my golf gets most shit moved, really want a tow ball installed so I don't need to steal my partner's car for heavier / larger jobs.
Diesel euro wagon gang here.
I've used them to move, to haul furniture or copious amounts of firewood... And 2 out of the 3 I've owned have had ridiculous mileages put on them by previous owners, while still maintaining reliability as far as the powertrain is concerned (admittedly, I've had to deal with minor electric issues and obviously I've replaced some control arms and tie rods).
Thought trucks were cool when I was a kid, but now I just don't see them being practical or economical enough considering the last year of my life has involved an average of 1000 km weekly.
