I’d argue a 8ft cargo van is still better for the majoirty of trades than an 8ft bed. Maybe landscapers and oversized loads are an exception but otherwise the van is far more practical for most applications. Many vans can tow as well.
yeah, but the trucks exist already and vans are pretty popular due to the ability to lock one’s gear inside. This is one of those cases where perfect is the enemy of good. You can’t change the material conditions of working people overnight and any argument for replacing outdated vehicles relies on the production of newer things, with all the associated environmental costs.
