Your definitions are more like your opinion....which is, of course, fine.....but not accurate.
This Hyundai may not sell that well though. But who knows....this mini-segment is not stocked with lots of choices.
Name "all kinds" of pickups that can't hold a 4x8 sheet flat the last 40 years? NAME THEM. Even a step side can haul 4x8 sheets flat on the rails, compacts have cutouts for 2x4's to haul 4x8 sheets above fender wells.. I await your accurate response of a long list of popular vehicles that you so claim.
Well looky here...we have a temper tantrum. Not only that...you change your initial opinion to now include the cutouts in mini-pickups to haul a sheet of plywood. Ha ha ha. For that matter, just about any vehicle with a roof rack could haul a sheet then, right? Ha ha ha. Some of you people on here are so phony it's amusing. Say one thing...tout it as some sort of fact....then when called on it, you CHANGE the whole original post so that you don't look foolish.
But to be honest and force you to stick to the original premise and false definition....THESE pickups CAN NOT haul an uncut full 4x8 sheet of plywood flat in the bed:
Compact trucks....Datsun (1960's to the late 70's), Toyota compacts, Ford compacts (Courier, Ranger), Nissan compacts, Mazda B-series, Mitsubishi compact truck, and the previous generation Honda Ridgeline (it can with gate open...but that doesn't count).
So....I guess these pickups (of the past 45 years or so) aren't REALLY pickups then?? Ha ha ha ha.
Maybe you'd consider the Dodge Caravan or Chevy Suburban to be pickups since I've seen them with full plywood sheets inside???
