Silly. For whatever reason they have access to a big truck. Going to IKEA today: do I take the Toyota Starlet or the big truck? I’ll take the big truck.
If we’re talking working at IKEA as like a delivery guy yeah but as a normal dude you don’t need a full size pickup for a once a year thing even I a dude who lives in the middle of nowhere Vermont and have to haul firewood to stay warm during winter my willies jeep does the job just fine and that’s a car that doesn’t even have a bed I just have a crap ton of horsepower and a trailer people forget that jeeps entered the civilian market as a work vehicle for farms and lumber yards
I once rented a cargo van to buy a mattress and bed frame from IKEA. It turned out that I didn’t need the van at all and could have packed everything into the 4-door sedan I had at the time. Part of it was because the mattress was rolled up in a compact manner.
I seem to recall that the van could easily fit in one spot.
To be fair, going to IKEA is a defensible application for a vehicle like this. Some of those flat packs are pretty bulky.
You’re going to purchase a 22ft truck just for Ikea trips? How often are you going to Ikea for large furniture?
Perhaps there are people who don’t keep a fleet of differently-sized trucks so as not to overshoot.
Right, so these people are going to drive a 22ft truck everywhere because they might go to Ikea at some point in the next 5-10 years?
I went to Ikea with my Honda Civic and strapped my order to the roof of my car. It was awkward for 1 day instead of being awkward every single day.
Maybe they’re doing work that involves moving a bunch of furniture around and they get a portion of it from IKEA?

You can just lease a car from IKEA though

If you’re picking up something big from IKEA, you probably borrow whatever you can. Maybe your cousin has a big-ass truck they can let you use.

I believe Ikea have their own vehicles.
