Pickup lumber, deliver pieces that will fit..
I'm toying with buying something else... Gas mileage is important. As much
as I like small pickups and mini vans well ouch yuck, they can actually
load more inside than a small pickup. A friend has a Honda Odyssey.. loads a
lot..
So I was just curious what others are using for there business and daily use

What if you need sheet goods? Are you going to let it hang out the

I have a 4WD Sierra with the small V8 and I'm getting about 17mpg as a

Stick with a pickup, you'll always have plenty of friends.
