It’s pointless. Any “truck” stuff this thing can do I could do with a Honda Civic.
I doubt you can haul a full sized fridge in a Civic. I used to know a guy with an appliance store that did his deliveries with a small truck, so this isn't just an unlikely thing, it is real for somebody.
Give me a compact wagon like a BMW 3 series and I could. I have a compact 3 series sedan (same class size as a Civic) and I can haul a ridiculous amount of stuff with it. From over a yard of mulch to 10’ lengths of lumber/sofit/trim etc.
I've seen someone transport a full-size fridge in a 125cc scooter. Of course you can do it with any car, you just use roof bars.
Utility van does a better job at this. Trucks are nearly pointless. No one needs a pickup.
That is debatable. Trucks work well, and for this a truck is much smaller since you don't need to fit it inside.
Finding a small truck is hard though, they haven't had them in the US in 20 plus years.
A civic without a roof or back seats. Nice to see that option in an ev too.
Toyota needs to bring the Hilux BEV here. A real EV truck that is smaller than a full size truck.
