Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better. Every time. No exception. SUVs and crossovers are just worse minivans for people who think they’re too cool to drive a minivan.
And those outside of North America largely need not apply. I wish we could just have a robust public transit system here, but apparently, public transit is antithetical to muh freedum or something. Or so they tell me.
And that’s not even getting into the point the post makes, which is that these monstrosities are getting bigger and more dangerous to pedestrians, yet our governments do nothing to stop it.
Yep, only things my truck has been specifically good for have been dump runs to one particular facility (big pit with low wall) and hauling loads of gravel/soil. A van or a trailer could accomplish much the same, but the truck was cheap and I don’t have anywhere to keep a trailer so it’s a good second vehicle.
