That can be used for inspiration, but what work can still be done with it in its modded condition ?

A station wagon will do most of what trucks are used for.
If one still needs more volume of weight capacity : use a trailer.


Get a European style trailer, with less weight (usually only 50 kg / 110 lbs) on the hitch when you have a European car.
Americans somehow seem to like more weight on the hitch, which then limits the load of the trailer.
We more or less try to balance our trailers - with a slight front bias so it still rests on its front wheel or skid when unhooked.
