If you are faced with buying a new or used truck you will be faced with deciding which is most suitable; a cargo van or a pickup truck. On the surface these two types of Ford trucks in Chicago look very different; a typical pickup has an open bed and some models are designed to go off-road while a cargo van is fully enclosed and is designed to drive on streets. These two different types of trucks do have certain similarities though, they both can tow a heavy trailer and they have loads of room for equipment. Which is the vehicle that is actually best suited for what it is you do?

The benefits of pickup trucks:

If ease of use is important to you then a pickup is the better choice. With open sides it is far easier to load and unload equipment and material that is needed on a job site. With a cargo van it is necessary to climb in, grab the material and pull it out through the rear doors.

Gas mileage is also better, midsize Ford trucks in Chicago are simply more efficient and getter better fuel economy because they are lighter than cargo vans.

The benefits of cargo vans:

The big plus for cargo vans is the fact that they are fully enclosed. An enclosed van deters thieves and protects your equipment and material in the event of inclement weather.

A cargo van lends itself to organization. There is little you can do with a pickup other than just load everything into the bed, a cargo van is ideal for those that carry spare parts for on-site repairs. Plumbers, appliance repair technicians and the like appreciate the fact that all the parts that they commonly use can be kept on board in drawers or on shelves.

In the end, there are Ford trucks in Chicago that meet the specific needs of everyone regardless of whether you plan on hauling material or people or both.
