It's awesome. And not polite conversation at the truck dealership.
I've hauled sand, gravel, Portland cement, rebar, angle iron, EMT, copper pipe, PVC, mortar mix, and structural lumber up to 16-foot length behind the CRX. Denton to Los Angeles and back for hospital batteries.
On one of the biggest remodels I was ever party to, none of the framers drove anything bigger than a Civic, Corolla, or Sentra. Their boss was the only one with a pickup. And typically, all materials were delivered directly to the jobsite on a slide-off, tilt-bed truck or 18-wheeler with forklift. If there was any warped, crowned, or twisted 2Xs, it was all accepted back by the jobber, as a condition of the contract. Nothing like 'television ads.'
The average person probably hasn't a clue about the utility of a modest automobile.
