    Nice. I’m planning to get a compact pickup soon. The prices are starting to get really steep where I live. It’s like $4000+ for a 25 year old truck with 180,000 miles on it.

        There’s a reason there are “full-size” pickups. The box is 49" wide at the narrowest point across the wheelwells so you can fit full sheets in it. There have been compact pickups for a long, long time (Toyota), but they’re narrower than fullsize and you have to build a deck in them above the wheels to get full sheets in. Sometimes even then you have troubles.

      And even worse if you’re picky about features, like a manual transmission or four wheel drive.
