    Even handymen can work without them. My plumber and electrician drove hatchbacks.

      Bullshit is a plumber or electrician working out of a hatchback. I’ve seen tradies working out of station wagons, and the poor thing is usually dragging it’s ass on the ground like a dog with worms.

        Neat, I’ll let them know. But if you’ve any curiosity about it, the electrician is driving one of those seat delete Chevy Bolt EVs. I don’t know if he bought it directly or converted his own, but the back seats are removed, and a flat bed is installed.

        They look like this.

      I worked as a handyman out of a camry. It is possible, but not pleasant.

      It’s like telling an office worker that they need to work at a coffee table.

        Yes, fair, and to be clear I’m not suggesting that tradespeople turn in their work truck for a hatchback. Moreso saying that if tradespeople can make it work without a truck, certainly the rest of us can figure out a way to commute without a truck.
