Given your opinions are on the reasonable side of truck owners
What advantage does a truck have over a panel van for work use?
Yes I’m European. Yes I actually want a truck for some unknown social reason. But every time I look at trucks I think the beds are either too small or I think my shit is going to get wet back there. An enclosed panel van has a bigger converted storage area.
Manure or rock, sure. I get that.
Plywood or sheet rock, standard sizes of sheet rock here in the UK for in a panel van and I have no worries about them getting wet out damaged en route.
Given the length limit of a truck bed, I can get much bigger things in a van then I could a truck.
