Sounds like you don't want a van then. You'd get one if you had a lot of gear to cart around, a car just can't take the weight. If it's just tools etc. then a car would do it. We use estate cars at work and load them to the gunwhales, but I have a pickup truck at home and I wouldn't use a car for heavy stuff. My Hilux is a 2 seater though so massive load bay, to a 4 seat pimp wagon. As ever, horses for courses. Car-type vans are a LOT cheaper than pickups though. Also bear in mind that vans are targets for thieves these days, but in a car everything is on show unless you unload it - the weighted down rear end is also a give-away.
