Normally I don't buy lumber though. You can fit a surprising amount of stuff in the trunk.

FWIW we own a mid-size SUV (Honda Pilot) and it hauls stuff just fine, especially with a trailer. What I am talking about is the stay-home mom who drives around shopping and getting her hair done and that kind of thing in a Suburban every day. You don't need a gigantic vehicle for most uses. Use one when you need it. I am all about sizing your vehicle appropriately for the task you most normally undertake. If you most normally haul 8 other people then you need a Suburban. If you most normally just haul your self and one or two kids then get a midsize sedan and help us all fit into parking spaces, less wear and tear on the roads, less CO2 emissions, less fuel demand, it's all good for everyone.
