So far its coming off as fake pandering since it instead of doing adventure stuff in your SAV most will just throw five bags of mulch from Lowes in the bed. Of course this is what many full-size trucks owners do as well each weekend, they just look cooler with a 3" lift, big tires and a light bar in the grille.
I'm 55 years old. I owned a Ram 1500 crew cab for 18 months. I loved the truck with the exception that it was simply too **** big, way too hard to park, sounded great with that V8 engine but not engaging to drive, and finally, I used the bed sparingly to haul a few things to the dump, buy a couch, buy bags of mulch from Home Depot, and a few other things. Nothing else. So I sold it.
So here's why I'm considering a SC as my next "truck". Call it an SAV, but the SC can be used for any various types of uses. For me, this thing should be able haul 25-30 bags of mulch with the tailgate down and using the bed extender and tying everything down. Perfect for my mulch needs. Again, with the bed extender, I can put the bikes in the back, take things to the dump, pickup most items from the local Costco, etc.
I just can't see too many limitations for a 55 year old weekend home owner needing it for home improvement needs that just can't drive big full-size trucks anymore.
And with that 2.5 Turbo engine, and it's agile handling, I also get the ride and comfort that I'm looking for, and just the right amount of sportiness that I'm looking for. And sure, the back seat is limiting, but thankfully for me, it will only be the occassional grandchild back there, but mostly used for things, just not maybe as many things.
So is it a jack of all trades but master of none. Probably. But you know what? That's exactly what I was looking for. Something that checked off all of my boxes for my needs.
It's the perfect swiss army knife.
