These Are the Biggest Cars You Could Actually Live With

“Cannot fathom the inconveniences of trying to daily drive a pickup truck. Parking especially. It can sometimes be hard to get around in the grocery store parking lot when there are trucks sticking two feet out of the parking spaces.

“I daily drive a Tesla Model 3 but also own a Pontiac G8. The G8 feels like too big of a car for daily use. So I guess a compact sedan is the largest I would go. I have zero understanding for why anyone gets two-row crossovers and negative understanding for why anyone outside of a professional landscaper or similar gets a pickup when you can rent one at Home Depot for $19 the few times a year you might need it.”

“I looked at other options such as a Land Rover Defender or a VW Multivan, but anything taller than the Prado wouldn’t fit in my carport or the garage at my local supermarket.”

“If I were a billionaire I would daily-drive a Bugatti Royale.”

“My Mercedes GL is right at the Goldilocks spot. Big enough to do everything you want (diesel for towing, three rows, plenty of cargo room), but it turns tighter than my Volvo V60 and fits in tight parking spots because it’s slightly narrower than a Tahoe/Suburban.”

“This is tough, but the biggest vehicle I could talk myself into would be either the Bronco or Wrangler. I would want a 2D, but if a 4D was on the lot with every other option I wanted, then I could live with it.

“I think I’d pick the Wrangler in the end because even though I think the Bronco is a better vehicle, it feels to me like you can’t spec a Bronco that isn’t trying to compensate for something. The best thing about the Wrangler is that while you can get it totally murdered out with fake off-road nonsense, you can also get something rather innocent, like this.

“Ironically, Ford practically invented that do-everything concept with the Mustang.”

“Of what I’ve actually owned, a Honda Odyssey and an E70 BMW X5 are vehicles that are on the larger side of my comfort zone. I’ve found that my sweet spot is somewhere around MK7/8 Golf to the E83 BMW X3 for something that’s maneuverable, fun, and capable of doing the things I want. The E84 X1 was perfect on paper, not so much in reality – the Golf has more interior room. My current daily is a Mk8 GTI.”

“I would say my Nova Bus RTS, but I would go even larger if given the chance.

“Neoplan Jumbocruiser, baybee!”

“Drove a Dodge Grand Caravan for a while. I don’t think I could go any bigger than that.”

“I could easily daily a lifted F-450 DRW where I live. I don’t want to, but it would be easy. I live in St Paul MN, and there’s nothing too tight around here in the twin cities that would cause any real issues. The way the metro area was built up means it’s all spread out and not up.”

“I have an extended cab long bed GMC 2500HD. That’s about as big as I’ll go. It still parks nicely and doesn’t have to swing wide on sharp corners. 156" wheelbase is longer than the overall length of some of the cars I’ve owned.

“I used to have a similar spec F-250 and it was awful. The turning radius was about as tight as the Ever Given. It was awful to drive and awful to park, mostly due to the steering angle being so limited.”

“Biggest car I could live with is the Maybach SUV (however I would buy the V12 sedan version), it’s huge but not as huge as a bloody Escalade or a Tahoe, very nice to drive.”

“I wouldn’t want anything larger than my Defender 110.”

“Oh, this is a good question for me, as I lack any and all depth-perception. (I see fine out of both eyes, they just don’t “talk” to each other to gauge depth)

“The largest car I ever drove that I was borderline “comfortable” with was my late father’s mid-’00s Chrysler Pacifica. It is big, smooth and roomy, but not too huge that I feel like I’m going to nail everything in a parking lot. From the driver’s seat, it feels far smaller than it actually is, until you look behind you and see another ~10 feet of interior.”

“I had a 1971 Dodge B-300 Royal Sportsman van for 40 years. It had a 127” wheel base, a 318 engine, no power steering or brakes. Two bench seats and lots of room in the back. It was a great family car. With the seats out I could load it with 21 bales of hay and still close the doors. I would do it again.”

“I dailied an extended-cab, long bed Silverado for a few years. It was just about exactly 20 feet bumper-to-bumper. That was long enough to be inconvenient. It took up the full length of a standard parking space and the wheelbase made the turning radius akin to a Nimitz-class carrier.

“A Suburban by comparison would be easy to park. I think I could go as big as a Suburban and not feel inconvenienced anywhere but the gas pump. A tight squeeze in a single-car garage, but it would fit.”
