I get that they and all their up-voters might have valid reasons for needing a one. But at this point I'm not sure if they can even imagine buying anything other than a truck.

Wishing upon the stars that the oversized cars may still be oversized, but a tick smaller. And that last one just needs a Van.

I have, among other things:

  • a "small" '90s truck
  • a minivan
  • a two-seat sports car with a trailer hitch and a utility trailer

Guess which one(s) can actually fit 4'x8' sheets of plywood?

spoiler


Trick question: the answer is "only the minivan," because the utility trailer is one of those little 4' long ones. Even using that and letting the sheets overhang would be better than doing the same with the pickup truck bed, though, because the latter's got a toolbox that shortens it to the point that less than half of the sheet would be supported.

Also, yes, I'm aware I have too many cars.
