Ever heard of trailers? You can rent one of these for cheap and haul whatever crap without needing to worry about your car interior. And any old sedan can tow a trailer, not to mention vans.

Trailers work, but they're not easy to get in and out of wherever you're going. Most cars don't come with a hitch, so you'd have to add that as well. You don't just tow a trailer around for fun, so if you frequently find yourself needing to move something or buy something with little notice it's not a good solution. Then there's parking.

Listen, most people don't need a truck. Or an SUV. Or a trailer. And no one needs a truck with a hood that's 6 feet off the ground. Plenty of people use their pickup trucks a lot and the other options have massive tradeoffs.

I own a trailer because I didn't want to have to get a truck and I've found it inconvenient enough I'm looking at buying a truck in the next couple months.
