All of the poor front visibility with none of the "I actually need a truck" use cases
You're not wrong, but there is nothing like a truck bed. Of any size. It is so friggin practical, speaking as a man that has had access to pickup trucks but has only owned 5 cars as daily drivers...trying to finagle some big piece of shit into the cars for transport sucks. Especially anything of size that might not fit through the puny, stupid doors.
Yes, that fold-down backseat helps a lot with long, narrow items. But it's still hardly a substitute for a truck bed.
I would love a machine like this, but without the lift & massive wheels. Seems unnecessary.
A roof rack and straps. For those rare occasions. For all other times youre just burning fuel to haul around tons of unnecessary weight and endanger pedestrians more.
