What if I never transport people? WTF do I need all these extra seats for? A giant grocery cart in the back is much more useful.

A cart that's exposed to the weather and leafs and dust. Totally worth it.....

Someone smart should invent a cover!

Or you know... A car with a roof to begin with.....

[-] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 6 months ago

Can I take the roof off to haul a fridge? Or my taxidermied camel?

[-] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

A friend transported a pretty big fridge in a Hyundai Tucson the other day

Fucking get a van, then. You wouldn't believe how much shit you can fit into a Renault Master, one of the most popular vehicle in Europe for contractors and other people who need to haul actual stuff, not their inflated ego. And Mercedes V-class has a very nice interior while still being able to haul more than an average american pickup "truck". These vans can haul boats, too, easily.

If I could have bought a work van for around what I paid for my truck, I would have instantly. But around here there are too may idiots buying trucks they can't afford and dumping them later. Used market is way too good to pass up. Now it's paid off and I shouldn't have to worry about that choice for another 10-15 years.

Altho I don't really get why people are so militantly "Get a van! Fuck a truck!". Are you that concerned with other people's form factor choices? Because vans with similar load/tow capacities as trucks are going to be just as big and take up just as much space in traffic. With worse visibility around them; As a pedestrian, a van blocks more of my view of traffic than a pickup.

Get a Mercedes van, just not a truck?
