So you volunteer to be behind him on the freeway as he brings home an entertainment center, a quadruple order of meatballs, and a set of bunk beds piled out the back of his Honda Civic? Ikea is one of the most logical places to drive the big truck.

You can fit that in a normal pickup. I don’t think IKEA sells anything that requires a 22 foot long pickup. Also, who buys entertainment centers and bunk beds on the reg?

Who's to say he drives this to town on the reg? That's what the Civic is usually for.

I would confidently bet a good amount of money that this truck is their main go everywhere truck and most probably has never been used to haul anything besides shopping.
