I’ve been in this situation a few times where I have something hanging out the hatch of a car. Often, there isn’t really anything to hold the hatch down. But at slightly open positions like this, the handle for the hatch is perfectly oriented to clip a bungee cord on and hold it down.

Is this just a coincidence? Maybe. Still pleased me when strapping it down in the parking lot

I do wish there were actually a hook of some kind, though, for when it’s significantly more open. Not that I’ve actually needed that.

    I have a wagon but the appeal of a truck is no vertical limit, so you wouldn’t have to disassemble, say, a snowblower with a non moving handle to bring it elsewhere.

    The appeal would be higher if the bottom of the bed wasn’t ten feet off the ground

      I have a wagon (P2 XC70) and a utility trailer for loads that are taller, like fridges, couches, etc. The only reason I would want/need a truck is to haul other cars, as even most SUVs don’t have the towing capacity to haul that much weight. Honestly I just want a wagon with a massive towing capacity, but that doesn’t seem to exist.
