    These cargo vans are heavier and get worse fuel economy than a half ton with a similar engine. I’m not sure why lemmings hold them out as the more viable alternative to pickups. They’re great if you have a bunch of stuff to protect from prying eyes but don’t tow well and you can’t put long, heavy or tall things in.

      Probably because tricked out cargo vans on chrome wheels with ultra bright headlights on rear mirror level aren’t a thing. They really are work vehicles, nobody drives them for clout.
