I’m now imagining a bundle of 2x4s vertically sticking up 6 feet.
I think I’ve only once or twice had something not fit the hatchback because the roof was too low. And those items wouldn’t have fit in a 3-4 foot bed either. Plus a proper hatchback should have roof racks to put oversize cargo on anyway.
I’m not arguing a 5+ foot bed isn’t better than a hatch (my 97 Taco with 6 foot bed comes in handy sometimes), but the shorty beds make me laugh.
I should probably have mentioned at some point that I work in film production, so the possibilities with a vehicle like this for me are endless lol Especially given how small it is compared to your standard pick up truck in the US. Can squeeze this thing holding a lot of weirdly shaped shit into a lot of places.
Good for running over kids. I love my relatively tiney, low off the ground car. This thing doesn’t need to be so high at all, it’s just made to look like an SUV. But it turns into a SUCC
I dunno, I feel like between the shortened body and larger wheels, the height is a bit of an illusion. Just eyeballing it, I don’t think this thing is very tall, perhaps just slightly taller than stock. My point being, this thing probably sits lower than most modern crossovers. Here’s a stock taco for reference, notice that there’s not so much lift to fit the oversized wheels as much as they just enlarged and deapened the wheelwells:
I unironically love it.

That’s got to be like a 3 foot bed? I just don’t get how that’s useful vs a hatchback with the seats down?

Being able to load dirt or yard waste is a biggie. You can hose it out when you’re done.
That said a trailer hitch on a hatchback gets you more versatility than this.
Furniture and other large objects won’t fit into a hatchback
Hatchbacks fucking suck compared to a similar sized truck for transport.
Too high off the ground
Good for wheelies
