No fair - that didn't sell at "pickup" prices. More of a baby Explorer "Sport" than a pick'em-up-truck

Well, true - but that's beside the point.

my point is that a small pickup with a small bed is useless.

more useful are small hatches and wagons, typically

Do not fully agree.

I would never shovel dirt/compost/mulch into the back of a hatch. Much easier to haul long material with a dropped tailgate, then it is with a popped hatch.

Side note: WTF

Don't agree, sorry.
Would love a pickup that i could drop a few bags of mulch in, rather than having to layer the Yaris with drop-cloths, remember that the seat-back when down is NOT somewhere to drop something heavy, and that really, truly, about 5 bags is IT for the suspension.
Don't want to haul rocks, or 20-stacks of sheetrock, just the occasional dirty load.
