>Then you don't want a small truck.

Yes, that was my point.

>Plenty of cars have a second row of seats that are not used daily too. I guess they bought the wrong car as well.

Cars with only two seats are in almost all cases more expensive. To buy a pickup you pay extra, to get 4 seats you don't.

Just answering your initial question.

What you personally need I have no idea nor was my reply pertaining to that.

A tiny minority of Americans are so often at a home supply store that choosing a pickup over a trailer would make any sense.

Gain, people do not buy cars they need. They specifically buy cars for situations they will never find themselves in.

Your scenario here makes even less sense because most cars do not come with a trailer hitch (trucks on other hand...), you're buying another thing (which lowers that this is supposed to be an "affordable" EV), you have to renew registration for the trailer, and have a place on top of your vehicle to store it.

A truck bed is nice to have sometimes. You can quickly throw things in it (like plywood, a new large flat screen, bicycles, fishing gear, a dead deer, etc). You don't have to hookup a trailer or fiddle with wiggling things between doors and so forth.

Again, people buy cars for the reasons least likely to happen.

People buy cars for a lot of reasons.

Such as commuting to & from work. But I imagine you believe that is the least likely thing to ever happen to a person. Driving to and from work.
