I literally just want a truck that can fit 4x8 ft sheet in the bed, like a 2009 Ford Ranger long bed. Unfortunately they don’t make trucks like that anymore primarily due to EPA fleet footprint rules.

    yeah, modern vehicle regulations and manufacturer priorities are fucked up

    I ended up getting a lightweight trailer for hauling full sheets, which is fine in a personal use case

    I’ve looked into trailers. I have a RAV4 so towing isn’t an amazing option but I could store it in a garage or something.

    U-Haul is $1 a mile in my area which adds up pretty quick on top of the rental fee.

    lol your car is probably more suitable than mine are for towing, or at least no worse ('outback and Elantra, 15+ and 10+ years old, respectively). I maxed mine out hauling dirt home recently, had to make multiple trips. it was fine though, only 20 min each way.

    I have the space to store it, and it's easy to move by hand, so it works great for me. townhomes and apartments haven't got the same opportunity.
