Good luck dealing with the shitheads who buy these. They'll whine and cry about not having space, x, y, z... I am surprised none of the EU brands have a popular small truck. Closest thing appeared to be Ford Rangers.

Time to slice some tires...

Well, they can always get a cart attached to the back of their car.

Much lower costs, fewer energy costs, and so on. And removable.

Lower cars also have the benefit of actually being easily to get into. And they're safer for the car driver, too.

Well naturally. I'm a truck owner and I have no idea why you'd opt into on over there.. hell if I could find a decent car or wagon that had a 7pin and could tow 4-5k I'd be about it. Closest are Subies but towing with a CVT ... Ehhh.

Yep a real full size truck you could probably take that car and put it in it its bed. With room to spare.
