Pickup trucks are really the only hauling vehicles that you can find at a normal dealership. The type of vans that you are talking about basically don't exist here and the sort that do don't generally seem to be available at consumer dealerships.


The Mercedes Sprinter (joint partnership with Freightliner) is being sold in the US, and is also sold as a Dodge Sprinter. I drove one of these (the Mercedes version), and it is an amazing utility vehicle. If I needed to haul stuff, I would definitely get one of these as a work truck before a pickup. It has an incredibly tight turning circle, too; it feels like you are moving sideways in the driver's seat when turning around. The thing gets 25mpg on top of it all, due to the fantastic Mercedes diesel.
