Kind of like a vise grip, the wrong tool for every job.

The old small Toyota pickup trucks work great because they are small, simple and solid and are to low to the ground for under bed storage.
But every time I've tried to use a truck that has a really short truck bed, I ended up wishing I was just loading stuff in to my Honda Civic hatch back, or that I had skipped the sissy truck and hooked up a trailer and really, a trailer is the ideal way to convert a fuel efficient vehicle in to a great cargo hauling vehicle because your tow vehicle can remain simple, solid and clean and a trailer allows you to have a super low deck height for easy loading.
