Wasn't sure which comm to post this in.
I've been saying for years that almost no one needs a full size pickup truck. Half the people I know who drive them are just commuting and never haul any cargo.

Yupp, this rings true to me. I work electrical construction, and work vans are superiors to trucks in most ways for day-to-day work. Trucks are better for towing large trailers and equipment, but as far as I'm concerned, that's a job for the owner of the large equipment; its far more cost effective for the type of work I do to rent, and just get any equipment delivered and picked up.
Only reason we have a pickup truck is because we chop wood.
If we didn't need wood for heat for the winter we would have bought a station wagon.
Station wagons fucking own. Best vehicle I've ever toured in. Barely cramped at all and driving vans on a highway for 2 weeks pretty much straight usually doesn't work for them and rear windows are really cool to have as well
Damn, I pretty much don't see them anymore. I remember station wagons being the standard large family car in the 90s
Oh yeah, they barely exist now. This was over ten years ago and we were stoked to find it. Was way easier on gas and I think made it through two tours before being junk. That's like a solid month of almost straight driving so you basically just get something for as cheap as possible and hope you can ride it to the end.
We would only have a station wagon if we did not have to haul stuff with creepy crawlies like wood. Our other vehicle is an Outback.
Having a centipede crawl on my face while driving switchbacks in the Cascade mountains would probably be the end of me.
Some have closed off storage, but they're hard enough to find let alone a specific kind.
