As much as we love our TD's, I am told in Europe they are what all the plumbers drive...just a work horse!
If I take the rear seatback out and fully recline the front seat, I can fit 10' sections of pipe in the car. I can also fit 6'8" doors in also. Sure it is not as easy as a pickup, but whatever you are carrying is protected from the weather.
