I see commercial lawn services driving in pickups a lot. It's a job that benefits from the open bed.

I tend to see them with either flatbed, trailer, or both. Occasionally box van plus trailer. Not usually a pickup and certainly not a luxury one.

I don't understand why flatbeds aren't more popular here. (Well if we assume that pickups aren't actually for utility then I guess it makes sense.)

You still need to tow.

You need body on frame, not the van unibody junk.
