    Just let the air out of the tires so they dont have to worry about scraping.

    Also I have a tiny old but tall van, it’s exactly 15 feet long and narrower than most modern compact cars, but it’s over 6 ft tall. It does fit in most parking decks, and never sticks out of the spot.

      Vans are the real vehicle for trades. You can fit way more gear, it’s all locked up and weather protected, and the vehicle footprint is still smaller.

      There is almost nothing a pickup truck does better than a van when it comes to work vegicles for the trades.

        I generally agree but it really depends what work the vehicle is used for. In my line of work, regulations require us to have a fully separated cab from where the gear and load are kept so we’re basically forced to use pickups.

        That being said, only on-call team leads bring the trucks home and we’re not allowed to use the trucks for personal use so they’re basically only at our shop/base or at a worksite.
