if I wasn't poor (and knew how to fix cars) I would totally get one of those baby Japanese kei trucks, they're SO CUTE

get in bitch, we're going 50 on the interstate ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž

You can still find the old mazda b-series pickups or ford rangers (they're the same truck) around ocasionally. They're the perfect size for an all in one vehicle. You get the utility of a truck without having to own multiple vehicles or daily drive a land barge. Sure, you won't be hauling farm equipment with one but they're the perfect size for moving furniture, hauling materials for light to moderate construction work, or trailering a normal sized fishing boat. Hell, if you don't care about the truck you can do even more than that. I once hauled an entire pallet of landscaping blocks in the bed of my 90s B2200. Probably around a ton of blocks. Sure it bottomed out the suspension but I used back roads, took the drive home slow, and got home without any issue. You could get all that utility in basically the same wheelbase as a modern car.

I would haul so much secondhand furniture and appliances in that bad boy.
