I know we have all seen them, and maybe someone on this forum owns one. The four door SUV with a small pickup bed.

I was behind one the other day, I think it was a Subaru or something like it. Anyway, the pickup bed was about the size of the ice chest I carry in my front passenger floorboard.

I started thinking about these trucks, and what is the thought behind them. Even the big Fords or GM's don't have much of a bed on them. I just dont see the purpose.

Can someone enlighten me what the attraction is?
