I’ve borrowed my parents minivan for this in the past, but their newer Odyssey (~8yr old) doesn’t even fit sheet goods without going diagonal, which causes problems. Plus even with care, it inevitably scratches up the interior.
I’d rather have a medium to small sized truck with a standard to extended bed. I don’t care about scratches or dents, so can just toss things in without a worry, and can load without even lowering the tailgate.

TIL Odysseys are inferior minivans.
The Aerostar I had two decades ago and the Sedona I have now both fit sheet goods just fine.
Also, I don’t think you’ve been able to buy a regular cab/8’ bed pickup easily since about the '90s.
Yeah, their older 2000s Odyssey could fit sheet goods fine. The newer models are slightly narrower, just enough to cause me grief.
8’ bed would be ideal for me, but even 6’ is fine with the wood resting on the raised tailgate for an easy tie down + flag.
