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.
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.
I have transported a 7 foot long TV entertainment stand from ikea in my Mustang.

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?
