I know the vehicle's been mentioned already, but I love my Ridgeline. 49" between wheel wells, and 1500lb bed capacity. Plus, a really handy trunk that holds tie downs, snow chains, and apparently even a cooler full of fish on ice. I've a hard tonneau cover that I use to hold down long dimensional lumber, I just let it (the lumber) rest on the tailgate and put the tonneau down on it - nothing slides anywhere. Only issue I have is that it's a bear to handle uncut BB ply because the bed walls slope downward to the back bumper. Even if you can find a way to hold it down, it will still be angled such that it poses a hindrance to safe driving (on the highway, at least). So...only BB I've bought has been cut down to fit before leaving the supplier.
I also love my Ridgeline because of its safety features. My first one was totalled when a guy on his cell phone behind me didn't notice that traffic was at a dead stop and plowed into me doing 60. Although I had some respiratory issues from the airbag residue (when he pushed me into the car in front of me, the airbag deployed), I walked away from that accident. I didn't even consider another type of vehicle when I replaced it.

Not all chemicals are bad. Without hydrogen or oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer.
