Any suggestions on what type of vehicle would be the best choice for my new business? I am currently using my Dodge Dakota PU, which is a pain as I have no cap.
I plan to do mostly residential/small commercial service.

I live in the NE and we get snow and ice each winter, so I am leaning towards a 4X4 PU with a Utlility Cap. But I am not sure if this will look professional enough, or if it will hold all the tools and materials I will need. My next choice is a GMC AWD 1/2 ton Van. Again, will this handle the weight of the materials I need to carry?
Will I NEED a 1 ton Van, how about 3/4?
I don't plan on carrying a full threading get-up and massive tools.



I have no interest in driving a box truck around. A plumber friend with an Isuzu Box truck often has to cancel appointments in the winter because lack of 4 wheel drive.

I hope to avoid diesel because of lack of easy access fill ups, though Sprinters do look promising.

Any help would be appreciated.
