Serious question. Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum. Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the lumber forum.
What kind of vehicle works best for you for trips between the lumber yard and your shop? I'm in the Seattle area, so it's rainy about 9 months out of the year. Our 2 decent hardwood shops are downtown, and at one of them parking is almost non-existent. I drive a small hatchback but I can fit a couple 10' boards in diagonally with the seats down. Sheet goods are not an option unless I have them broken down at the yard.
I'm considering switching to something like a Tacoma, but with only a 5 or 6 foot bed as options, a bunch of that 10' lumber would be sticking out the back all the way home.
I know I'm over-thinking it, but I'm just curious what you're all using or what you wish you had?
