You might be right about the passengers, but from a relatives point of view, only the pickup works for his line of work. I won't go into details, but it involves transporting machines from site to site and using them there. His pickup is only used for work, he has a Volvo V60 as daily driver.
I see no problem with large cars as long as there is justifications for that specific vehicle.

Agreed. In 99 out of 100 cases there isn't, though.
Seriously! A van has a cover so workmen can leave their tools in it year-round, and it's lower to the ground so it's much easier to load and unload. The Mercedes Sprinter is probably the best work vehicle imo
