I particularly hate these trucks because they're perfectly "I need a family vehicle but I'm too insecure to drive a van".

    A van's moreso for businsss, a hatchback is better for family imo. Or sedan if you don't have a lot of luggage needs.

    I think they mean a 7-seater minivan

    Isn't that a hatchback? Hatchbacks often can have the luggage space fold out to make space for extra seats.

    Not necessarily, a hatchback is just any car where the rear compartment isn't a separate trunk, so there are even tiny 3-door hatchbacks. A minivan (or MPV) has a specific body style to accommodate more passengers in the back

    So I own a big stupid truck TM and while it's only used a few thousand miles a year to pull horses, occasionally I need to run to the store with it. What I don't do is try to pull into a narrow ass tiny spot near the door, I park as far to the back as I can so I'm inconveniencing the least amount of people and at a much smaller risk of dinging something.

    Do I think my truck is ridiculous? Yes. But I can't pull 5 tons of trailer and horses with my bike or compact. And I try to limit its non-agricultural use as much as possible.

    Having said that, man that guy is a jackass.

    Do you put parking signs for car sizes in the USA?

    Short bed counts as a compact
