    Every time I read this take I am a little surprised it’s so prevalent. I guess I just go to the hardware store or IKEA or get free furniture on the side of the road more than nearly everyone else on the Internet. I would LOVE a truck, since my Subaru often isn’t big enough for what I need/want to do. Now granted, I want a small truck with a full size bed that can fit a sheet of plywood, not a giant hauler for a boat or RV*, and certainly not an inexplicable 4-door truck for hauling people with a 6-ft bed like you mention, but it’s still wild to me that there aren’t more heavy DIYers or even new home owners like me on Lemmy. Maybe I’m on the wrong instance.

    *Technically we could probably get away with a truck like that since my wife needs to haul giant boat trailers for work, but they provide a rental. We’d probably make more money with a reimbursement using our own, but I don’t have space to store a giant F350 or whatever because we DO have a giant RV, but not a tow behind because I don’t like them.

        If those are highway legal I might be very interested once I sell my project car. Thanks!

          They’re not highway legal in at least several states. I also don’t think they’re capable of highway speeds anyway though

        Holy crap I’ve always wanted an Acty, but I thought they would be more expensive to import and what not. Thank you so much for posting this link!
