You’re spamming this same study throughout the thread without realizing that is uses a different and much stricter definition of “hauling” than the average person.

This demonstrating the average person is an idiot who never needed a truck because their “hauling” can be done with a sedan or even a compact car.

Which is rather the point.

Could it be possible that while you can cram something in the backseat of a car, a truck bed might result in less damage to vehicle interiors and the object being moved?

It's a tool not a baby. Are you buying vehicles several times the price and encumberance because you can't fold down the rear seats and lay down some tarp?

And more damage to the roads, society, the cities, and the neighborhood children you can’t see

From that own study it shows more than half are using it at least “occasionally” for “hauling”.

I’d like to see the study on what percentage of people use all 4 seats in their car so you can dunk on people who buy 4 seaters next.

You make it sound like it would be unreasonable to dunk on people wasting our society resources. Why not hit on people driving 4 seat cars when they drive alone most of the time? If it affects me it should be normal that I voice an opinion. Those cars use public space, roads, bridges that are affected more the heavier your car is. That also drives up the motor power needed which in turn increases public air pollution.

Electric cars weigh far more than a gas Toyota Corolla. You don’t want to go down that path

Why do I not want to go down that path? Of course I do. It's a trade-off.
