I see the anti-truck crowd is alive and well over here.
Never had anything blow off, if it’s that lightweight I have ratchet straps. If there is rain I would use a tarp if I didn’t want it getting wet. Never had anything stolen either.
Trucks are way easier to load and unload, and I can fit taller objects easily. Longer objects as well. I really don’t have much interest in hauling horse manure in a van or SUV. Same goes for firewood and bee colonies. I also have a trailer which is awesome and sees a ton of use.
Obviously plenty of people don’t use a truck for these things, but I really don’t care what others do with them. In fact it’s awesome having a used truck market clean trucks that have never been put into 4x4.
Older trucks, sure. I could lift stuff over the sides of my buddies S10 and place them on the bed while standing on the ground. I can’t do that with a modern Colorado, let alone a 1500 :(
I am not in the market for a stuff hauler, but a euro van seems like it would be a ton more practical.
“Icky” loads like poop or towing? I totally get a truck here but I still contend modern beds are too high.
