Default advice on new vehicle

My father is a contractor and he drives an old toyota cargo minivan.
It's not quite wide enough for sheet goods on the floor, but it bulges
out a bit so he built a raised platform level with the wider area.
There is storage under the platform.

He's in vancouver where it rains a lot, so it's nice to have it fully
enclosed.

I drive a Matrix, which is fine for everything but sheet goods (will
take 8' lumber with the hatch closed).
