What is the true purpose for the reach thru to the trunk from the backseat?

I used it last night to get some crown molding from Home Depot. I was able to get a 10' length in and shut the trunk (of course the piece was sitting on the dash). Not something I like to do, but actually easier than my short bed pickup where they would bounce all around.

What's better than owning a pickup? Having a brother who owns a pickup - that's my experience, anyway.

Very true, I have a 99 S10 that I use for hauling. However, it gets less than 3K miles a year and I probably pay more for insurance/maintenance on it than if I just rented a truck when I needed it. I think I use it more for trips where I don't want to park my car than anything else.

The funny thing is I had to get 12' sheets of sheetrock home a few weeks ago. Not getting that in an S10, so I had to rent the Home Depot truck. Its cheap though 20 bucks for 75 minutes if you purchase stuff there.
