      That’s got to be like a 3 foot bed? I just don’t get how that’s useful vs a hatchback with the seats down?

          I’m now imagining a bundle of 2x4s vertically sticking up 6 feet.

          I think I’ve only once or twice had something not fit the hatchback because the roof was too low. And those items wouldn’t have fit in a 3-4 foot bed either. Plus a proper hatchback should have roof racks to put oversize cargo on anyway.

          I’m not arguing a 5+ foot bed isn’t better than a hatch (my 97 Taco with 6 foot bed comes in handy sometimes), but the shorty beds make me laugh.

            I should probably have mentioned at some point that I work in film production, so the possibilities with a vehicle like this for me are endless lol Especially given how small it is compared to your standard pick up truck in the US. Can squeeze this thing holding a lot of weirdly shaped shit into a lot of places.

            Being able to load dirt or yard waste is a biggie. You can hose it out when you’re done.

            That said a trailer hitch on a hatchback gets you more versatility than this.

        Hatchbacks fucking suck compared to a similar sized truck for transport.
