    Aren’t work vans built on the same frames as pickups? Only a minivan is going to be significantly smaller than a truck.

      Maybe in the US? The Trafic gets rebadged a lot, but I don’t know if it matches up with any current pickups. It’s certainly not small, but it’s not a gas guzzler, it’s low slung and it uses sensible tyres. It certainly doesn’t look like you’re overcompensating for something, even if its road footprint is large.

      And that’s not even the smallest one they make (but it is the smallest with a separate cabin, I think).

      I think that’s more true as time goes on, though. That’s what my comment about the concerning front of modern vans was about earlier. Still, if you compare the Ford Transit to the F150 you clearly don’t see a pickup with a roof.

        You’re right and I’m wrong. They do have different frames.
