    They’re only common because of tax laws. Everyone else in the world uses box vans for most “work” purposes, and if not box vans, the same frame with something else in the back. Pickup trucks have their uses but they’re worse than vans for most trades.

      For my field pickup trucks are the way to go, but we often have to go off road to reach a site.

      That said this truck is still too large. While we mat need the extended bed for additionally equipment storage, the front and basically porfile/height could still be reduced significantly. It’s a huge issue with modern truck design

      Don’t I know it. Most of my male family members have been tradespeople and all but one chose/chooses a van over a pickup truck.
