I want a small truck with a big bed so I can carry stuff. A Toyota Hilux Champ looks like my dream truck, but we can't have nice things.

Hear me out. You actually want a minivan.

Or a cargo van if you're feeling fancy. You can get cargo vans electric too. They aren't nice, they're definitely built to just haul stuff. But they're really good at just hauling stuff.

If you're looking for cheap find an old used minivan and lay the seats down. You can fit a lot in an old minivan. 4*8 sheets are not a problem for most.

The advantage of a cargo van is that everything you carry is protected from the elements and theft.

Its interesting to see the cultural difference between the US and Europe. In Europe pickup truck are quite rare but cargo vans are everywhere.
