While I don't entirely agree with the sentiment of your post. I will sure add my two cents:

I travel for work and have learned the Chrysler Pacifica minivan rental cars are unbeatable machines for loading equipment and driving long distances. The seats fold right down into the floor and I can load it to the ceiling with my Pelican cases. The larger crossover SUVs are just sedans that somebody attached a bike pump to and inflated the metal between the inside and outside of the vehicle. There ain't shit for space anymore. Also the Pacifica is comfy af.

Also also, you don't have to lift your heavy shit 4 feet off the ground... Big bonus.
