Or a station wagon
Or if they’re a tradesman of some kind, a van
Would have loved one of those sprinter vans when I did field work, used our utility trailer a lot, but something with a small workbench, lighting and conveniently located inverters would have been amazing.
That does sound like an incredible alternative to drying herbarium vouchers in a hotel with a hair drier (my field work)
I own a station wagon, a suburban, and previously a truck. When I owned the truck it was full of shit or hauling stuff constantly. I sold it the moment I didn’t need it. The suburban replaced it because I refuse to put my dogs in the bed while towing the boat to go camping. The wagon is a people hauler because it’s payload is too low most of the time.
There are quite a few people in this world who actually use their trucks. I also completely hate seeing people who own trucks but don’t use them.
OK well we’re talking in generalities here. Most people who have a Truck (myself included) don’t need one. And I’d bet that a lot of those who do would be better served by a utility van or something similar.
Trucks aren’t even the only vehicle capable of hauling large loads (giggity).
Sure, some people legitimately need a truck. We’re not talking about them.
Absolutely zero people need the pedestrian slaughterer 2000, but these kinds of
