    The bed of that stupid thing is about twice as high as the useful one, so you have to lift the cargo twice as high.

      bold of you to assume they’re using it for more than their weekly groceries

        Groceries are enough cargo to need a truck, of course. You can’t possibly hold that much in a sedan.

          Ever notice how other vehicles don’t usually do that, even when they can? It’s possible to do in a wagon too, but that’s uncommon to see. You should look at the physics sometime.

          If your bed is empty, your vehicle will have less weight. Larger vehicles need that extra weight for traction, as their centre of gravity is higher. Smaller vehicles will have a lower centre of gravity, so they usually won’t need that extra weight.

          I’ve never seen that aspect described as a “pro” before. In the past, I’ve mainly only heard pick up drivers complaining about it being a pain in the arse to do.

          Edit: I think this might have been a joke lol. It’s too early. I’ll leave this up anyways
