You could get a small FWD suv, or tall hatchback type of car, like a Toyota matrix or similar. Small car, small engine, decent cargo room.

You could bolt a winch to the front of your Ranger's bed, and use a couple of 2x4s for a ramp, and winch your giant tvs up onto the bed. I mean. Not even joking, what's an $80 winch from harbor freight, a couple of bolts, and maybe $20 worth of wires, compared to buying a whole vehicle? Wrap a Kevlar strap, with something soft over it, around the tv, maybe make a plywood sled for it. Good to go.

How about using an old Formica countertop as a slide?
I was using a engine lift as well!
