Let's talk vehicles. What do you drive for work as a contractor? Trucks or vans? Any suggestion of what to drive?

If your stuff fits in a van that is 100% the choice.
Excellent thread, OP.
Just get a cheap craigslist/used dealership van and hire anyone off the street, pay them under the table and fire them for no reason a year later.
Repurposed vans are great for light load bulk. Insulation, pvc pipe, Mexicans, etc. You're really gonna want commercial for anything heavier though. You can certainly rip out unneeded weight for wiggle room, but the frame really isn't designed for loading it up the way you're gonna want to.
Used to be strictly trucks/vans where I live. 'Bout 15yrs ago I started seeing tons of minivans. I know carpenters that drive Jeeps. I know a plumber does all his work out of a Subaru ffs.
Just get what you need and can afford.
Why is this even a discussion? What is there to say? Do what you want. Who cares?
Get a mini if you can fit your tools in it, you worthless fricking moronic queer.
Woah bro, WOAH. Just trying to have a friendly conversation about vehicles, no need to project your shitty unloved life onto a stranger on the internet.
woah bro
it's been done to death bro
>just get x you'll be set
>i can't afford x
>well then maybe try y instead
>yeah but y doesn't work for my situation
>how about z then
>i need more than z

I've been looking at the nissan nv200s lately, I see a ton of em around mme
Discontinued in USA unfortunately. Used is still a thing though
I got a dodge caravan I been keeping around forever, youd be surprised on how practical they are
I drive a 95 tacoma and once a week some idiot asks me if I am selling it.
Kia Soul w/ a roof rack.
Prius
1994 f-350 4x4 with the 7.3 idi and 5 speed manual transmission.
Basically if it doesn't have a solid front Dana 60 and manual transmission I don't even want it...
I saw a dude in traffic once on a custom recumbent bicycle with a small trailer full of tools working as a plumber with the low carbon footprint as his gimmick. Kind of badass tbh, I admire his energy level
tradie for 23 years now, contractors are not a thing here so always as hired by a company. cars have exclusively been leased vans, paid by company. vw transporter, ford transit or toyota hiace, 3 to 5 years plan. flog the shit out of it, use it as i wish after work, fill it with unsecured junk and close the doors, once the plan expires i get a new one.
Just purchased a 2004 Ford Transit for $1500 AUD ($1000 USD) with reconditioned engine (done less that 10,000 km or 6,000 miles) but needs a new gearbox and some minor cosmetic repairs. Pic is the same but not the one I bought. Plan to put toolboxes on the back.
That's a terrific deal. The bed's worth what ya pair for the truck.
I know. Great guy to deal with. He was in garden maintenance and then went into hardscaping, I'm also in garden maintenance but and growing my business to eventually become a full property maintenance services, both interior and exterior.
