Before I retired my truck was one person but now I work hard at keeping it open. I do know a full timer (RV no house) and his vehicle has ALL of his tools.
I have stuff on the passenger seat of my car: cloth shopping bags, box of tissues, a container for an extra pair of sunglasses. When someone wants to ride with me, I have to move all that stuff. The car is otherwise clean.
When I was still-“un-retired”, I pretty-much used a company-owned service truck, with a utility-bed, for transit except on the rare-weekends that I was literally at-home. There it was an-old “beater”, fit for: “Ya’ wanna haul it? Sling it in the back—-but not on the rust holes, unless y’ wanna lose it!”-style of truck. But I still loved the way it sounded, under-stress.But now I’ve just settled for a pretty-little restored 2001 Chrysler T&C-van. Didn’t think I’d ever like somethin’ like this thing, but: I was SO-surprised to discover how much “stuff” I could cram-into the rear of this-thing, once I took out the two-rear seats! (And now I’m looking to fit it with an interior “headache-rack”, just-behind the front-buckets, so if anything starts to slide, the steel mesh rack will catch-it, before bodily contact…!)☺
Our family work vehicle is a 1970 hearse, lots of space in the back for dogs/cats, tools of many varieties, plus whatever is needed for the current trip and space up front for the driver and 2 (slim?) passengers.
I see remarks about work and trucks. I knew the owner of a gravel company. He bought his wife a new Cadillac every year. He then would take his wife’s hand me down. He used it like a pickup. The backseat was torn up from all the tools being thrown in.
