Amusingly enough a "step van" - the technical name for the type of thing a UPS truck - is often a much better truck for the average construction worker (the type who brings a truckload of tools to a job site) - as you can get into the truck and find things without having to unload the entire pickup.

A friend started construction and bought a Tacoma new because he saw everyone else using one - and it had to go in for a repair and during that time the dealer lent him a van, and at that point he had serious regrets about buying the truck.

But then again visit most construction sites and you'll see one or two company trucks full of tools, a delivery semi or two, and acres of pickup trucks with nothing in the bed.
