Why not? That's the reason you get a 22 foot truck, because you need to haul a lot of things at once. Maybe you are furnishing your entire house, maybe one of 45000 other possible legitimate reasons to haul a lot of things. I don't own a truck, and I usually assume anyone driving one of these huge ones is a maga these days because around here that's what they mostly are.

But it's a little nuts how many people think that because they've never had the need to haul more things than will fit in a sedan or small hatchback or shortbed pickup, no one else does either.
