I bring enough ice fishing gear to over night on the lake in a hut and fit it all with room to spare in a small hatchback. The idea you need a truck to do outdoorsy things is mostly propoganda.

No, it is. I used a Honda Odyssey when I was contracting. Way more room in the back to haul stuff around than a standard pick-up bed.

Yes, because everyone has the exact same use case as you. There can be no other outdoor activities which require more space than a hatchback. /s

There definitely are legitimate use cases for those gigantic trucks, but 90% of people who have those trucks don't use them for those use cases.

I can also go camping, paddling, mountain biking, snow shoeing, snowboarding. Really the main outdoor activities I couldn't do are motor sports, and thats not really a traditional outdoor activity and my tow capacity is what stops me.
