Yeah, God forbid he wants to actually take stuff home.
That said, if you’ve got a huge truck (and I live in the country and work blue collar so I get it, sometimes you need one), have a small car too. Trucks aren’t cheap, you can afford a Civic for the city.
When I bought my Miata, it came with a small utility trailer. I’ve used that trailer to transport home an 8’ tall, 4’ wide, solid wood pantry cabinet – not flat-pack; a custom-built, very heavy antique. Now, I’m sad to say I didn’t actually use the Miata to tow it in that instance (I think I used my old 4Runner instead), but the point is I could have, and it would’ve worked.

I’m sure lots of people have stories about getting huge loads home from IKEA in a tiny car.
I once got two 10’ tall wardrobes and a matching dresser home in a Volkswagen.
I have transported a 7 foot long TV entertainment stand from ikea in my Mustang.

You’d be amazed what I can get in the back of my 2008 Mini.
I am this person. Packing half a house of furnishings into a Mitsubishi Mirage and then driving like 90 miles back to my house.
Get your truck up to the loading area then. Why are you moving huge loads by hand when you have a perfectly good truck for that?
