To those saying it's a truck at a furniture store: Y'all, it's IKEA. Almost everything is boxed, you don't need the truck. I manage just fine in a Mini Cooper (although admittedly that's because of the hatch back, my Ford sedan has some trouble on the longer boxes).
That said, trucks have a place. Just not sure why they're allowed to sell to normies such long trucks; we really need regulation on that. It's getting rather dangerous in parking lots for the exact reason this guy put on his notification. Trying to get out of a spot with a long vehicle next to you is a bit of a roll of the dice because of visibility especially.
I've gained such a love for "small" pickup trucks due to these huge ass trucks
My first vehicle was a Ford Ranger, and up until a few weeks ago it was my favorite.
