For moving stuff around, without having an obscenely large vehicle?
Is this supposed to address something I said?
It addresses your whole comment, which is about who this vehicle is for.
This is a vehicle for people who actually need and want a truck to do the kind of useful everyday hauling people who live in the suburbs actually need. It's for people who actually need a truck for practical reasons, not for people who want a giant penis extender.
This is a truck for people who need a truck. It's not suitable for people who just want to larp as a rancher.
That's exactly who this is not for, which is the whole point of my comment.
I don't think you fully appreciate just how small a 5-foot bed is. You can fit more stuff in the back of a station wagon if you collapse the rear seats. Anyone who can get by with a bed that small is far better off with a van. The only reason to get a two-seat pickup truck over a van is that you need the higher ground clearance and off-road capabilities, which this rear-wheel-drive-only vehicle doesn't offer.
I'm a contractor who literally works from the back of their truck. My truck is 5cm wider and 70cm longer than this one and it has a 180cm (6-ft) bed, which is barely large enough for the work I do.
I stand behind my original comment: I have no idea who the target user base for this is.
It's for your average suburban DIYer with a 9-5 office job. Someone who's biggest DIY job is remodeling the bathroom.
This little truck is a simple commuter and Home Depot runner. That's it. And "people who need a truck" doesn't always mean "needs something to tow 10k lbs". It's the same group of people who use a minivan for the utility. Like me. I'd 100% buy this truck if it wasn't backed by Bezos.
