That will do everything many truck owners will ever need thier fullsize to do.
That won't even do what I needed my first Dakota to do, that is, move myself and friends from apartment to apartment while towing a double axle U-Haul. Try and see what U-Haul will rent you for towing with that. Try moving a King sized bed with that. Or even a Queen. I had to move a Full in my Dakota because the "main mover" showed up in an Isuzu pickup with junk in the back. He couldn't make it work, no how, no way.
So, no, I reject "will ever need". Maybe "most of the time", but that just means single person commuting.
What the [heck] kind of king-size bed was that?
I've moved a queen size matress, box spring, frame, headboard and a dresser with boxes stuffed into every additional space in a Mazda B2200 with a 6 ft bed (same length as the VW Rabbit Pickup/Caddy).
Then again, I also moved a friend's Papasan chair in my Chrysler Convertible because it wouldn't fit in his SUV.
I'm going to have to check the width. I think I could fit a fullsize bed in my Mazda's hatch. A twin certainly fit in the PT Cruiser.
More people up north must actually buy trucks when they intend to use them as trucks. Here, they are passenger cars with big empty boxes on the back. That would be fine except the drivers have selected vehicles that are much bigger than thier driving ability.
