As a carpenter, I'm just curious how you think the building you live in got built?
My house was built by a mason long before cars even existed.
Not with a truck like this, I can promise you lol. This is not the truck of someone who needs to do any work with it. Or even go offroad with it.
This is an SUV for a man who who's masculinity is too fragile to own a "feminine" SUV or minivan, so they stick a little tiny bed on the back and he can walk around saying that he uses his truck for Serious Business.
In my country they use vans like a Mercedes Sprinter because you can actually keep your stuff dry and even make a little workshop in there. The only use I can think of for a pickup truck is maybe gardeners so they don't have to haul a trailer for their green waste? Could also maybe be useful to haul strawbales if you have a small farm. But you can just do that in a trailer behind your van as well, and your equipment will be dry inside the van and you can leave the trailer when you don't need it.
Seeing as the walls are made of 8x8 logs, I have no clue.
Mine is built from enough concrete and brick to sink most ships. And most wood frame houses are built from timber trucked in on a flatbed.
Nobody does large amounts of hauling with a pickup.
They get a transit van if they actually need to move things around.
