Maybe your buddy should sell both vehicles and buy a mini van.
My Dad traded his minvan in for a truck and regrets it because the minivan was lower and easier to get things into and out of. Also he liked that cargo was covered from rain with a "hard top". Dad swears that the minivan was better at hauling drywall, firewood, and kayaks.
I still haven't figured out if he's onto something or just nostalgic about our childhood van.
Gotta say I liked the chebby van I had for ten years. Not much good though if you need to haul sand or gravel or block, but having a trailer can take care of that. Have a truck now and it’s a pain in the ass in that tools and materials, or camping gear is susceptible to theft. I’d go back to a van now if I could afford it, they aren’t any cheaper than a truck. Talk’n full size though. Those old Astro vans were good work vans, had one of those for a few years too.
I can mention, but can you fit a sheet of plywood or drywall in one?
In my dad's old mini van, yes. IDK about the new ones though. Obviously you have to be able to remove the seats.
