It's about impossible to make this point with some Americans. Don't cause yourself an aneurysm.

I want a truck the size of a Subaru Brat, which had a shorter total length than a Honda Fit.

Is that unreasonable?

No they're just being a cunt and don't realize every truck isn't the size of a 737

No you are not. But perhaps you might consider a small and light trailer you could pull behind a sedan of even a mini-van. The costs are far, far, lower and the insurance and licensing are nearly non-existent.

No, for reasons already explained upthread and in various posts.

unfortunately there is no such product available in the market currently.

Most close may be a triporteur (scooter with bed) or a cargo bike, with an extended battery it is enough for daily work (60-200km)

I know there isn't in the US because I recently tried to find one to purchase, and I am complaining about that lack of availability.
