Trucks are way easier to load and unload

Older trucks, sure. I could lift stuff over the sides of my buddies S10 and place them on the bed while standing on the ground. I can’t do that with a modern Colorado, let alone a 1500 :(

I am not in the market for a stuff hauler, but a euro van seems like it would be a ton more practical.

“Icky” loads like poop or towing? I totally get a truck here but I still contend modern beds are too high.
