Man this is so awesome. I do really think they need to consider the fold down bed sides like the kei trucks have.

The bed being plastic doesn’t give me much confidence either. The payload may be similar to a mini truck, but a mini truck’s metal bed will take a significant beating over plastic.

This is very, very close to what I want, but I worry that those two things may prevent me from actually pulling the trigger. While all of the modular features are cool and neat, I don’t really consider them very useful for what I would actually use this truck for.

The purpose of this seems to be a fleet or Personal utility truck, but I still feel like I would be leaning towards a used old Ford Ranger or similar.

"Awesome" is understating it.

Ye. This is a Volvo station wagon, that Volvo themself discontinued in 2016 becouse it was too popular.
