Unless you work as a handyman or farmer or something, you don't need a truck. You can ask a friend or rent a trailer for the once in a year occurrence you need to transport something huge.
Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.
Bullshit is a plumber or electrician working out of a hatchback. I've seen tradies working out of station wagons, and the poor thing is usually dragging it's ass on the ground like a dog with worms.
Neat, I'll let them know. But if you've any curiosity about it, the electrician is driving one of those seat delete Chevy Bolt EVs. I don't know if he bought it directly or converted his own, but the back seats are removed, and a flat bed is installed.
They look like this.
That's an SUV, not a hatchback.
No, the Bolt EV is not an SUV. The Bolt EV is a subcompact hatchback.
That doesn't look very compact to me.
Try looking up an image of the Chevy Bolt online; it is very much a compact EV.
The driver doesn't even elbow the passenger changing gear, and there's even a center console.
Not very compact.
I like your interpretation, lol.
I worked as a handyman out of a camry. It is possible, but not pleasant.
It's like telling an office worker that they need to work at a coffee table.
Yes, fair, and to be clear I'm not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.
What does the friend drive?
In my case, an f350 to pull giant trailers for an auction business he runs.
