There's far more storage area in an SUV with the rear seat folded down.

What do you do with these short beds? What are they, 4-feet or so? My neighbor has been on a waiting list for a Maverick for nearly 2 years
I have to agree. I’ve owned a few pickups over the years and never found them useful for their stated purpose. But had to see what the draw was. Whatever goes in the bed is subject to theft, rain or just plain blowing out on to the freeway. Of course, I’m not a construction worker or RV puller. My wife’s Honda Odyssey has been the go-to utility vehicle and has never let us down...even towing a small trailer or boat. Just so much more practical.
