The cargo flexibility of these vehicles really is what I appreciate the most, I think. Nothing beats fold-flat rear bench, fold-flat passenger seat and flip-up rear window. It's sad that newer vehicles rarely offer this much flexibility.
12ft ladder, 12ft lumber, 4-5 boxes of suspended ceiling tiles, two halves of king-size boxspring, big screen TVs, many trips to Ikea/Rona, chrismas tree, huge/heavy industrial metal filing cabinet, big computer desks, patio set table/chairs, many loads of drywall/etc. to municipal dump. As I said, great cargo flexibility!
