I’m deciding between a pickup truck, a minivan, and a small cargo van (such as a Ford Transit Connect) for my home organizing business. It would need to fit a shop vac, rug shampooer, storage boxes, and cleaning supplies. Nothing huge. I know there are pros and cons to each option and I read a few previous posts on the topic, but none described my exact situation, so I thought I would ask the community for advice. The pickup is appealing because it can fit a baby seat in the back row (in case I need to use my work vehicle to pick up my kid), and it could potentially haul larger items to the dump if needed. A minivan is appealing for similar reasons and because there are lots of them and they are relatively inexpensive. That being said, the Ford Transit Connect seems like a natural fit - it’s the first thing that came to mind when I started thinking about this. Thanks for the help :)
Thank you! I am SO glad I posted my question here! You make a very good point.
