Thats the only thing I need to carry more bags of garden soil lol the roof rack has its limits, unfortunately..

Nice lol I've carried about 400 sq ft of vinyl flooring from Home Depot in the backseat. The car squatted a good 2 inches on the stock suspension and the rear doors closed without even a half inch to spare. I really do need a truck and will probably get one in the next year, but it is comical with what I've been able to do with this car.

meh trucks are useless to me. you need to unload it every time. meanwhile my astro van can haul stuff and I can leave them inside. the lower tailgate makes things easier too

I would consider an SUV but I'd need to be able to haul a few dirt bikes and other huge items like gym equipment, engine puller, ladders, trees, etc..

I've put all those in my astro van (except we hauled ebikes). 20' 2x4s is probably the longest i've done, 14' crown mouldings... I just let them stick out the rear hatch. bought a 24' ladder and a heavyass office desk on CL. , several 14' silver maple and bamboo, I've bought lots of sod, bags of concrete. also has a trailer hitch but I have not used it yet. hauled 2 sets of wheels and tires to the tireshop. it was lowered but now just moderately lowered and bumped the spring in the back. It's also my backup commuter car in case one of the SUVs are down, I just park it on the farside of the office parking garage lol. I actually helped my then-boss move from his apartment once oh and my first born 2day old child slept in there for 2 nights during a power outage from a major hurricane
