This guy has no clue whatsoever. He is comparing the ST to pick-up trucks and it clearly is not one. It is a niche vehicle I believe but for the person that wants a pick-up bed for those rare occassions you need one and still wants to be able to haul the family around, it's perfect. And just to further prove this guy wrong, I carted a full size couch 45 miles from in my ST. Had to use a racheting strap and about 5 inches came over the lowered tailgate but it's possible.
