Have you considered a cargo van? They tend to get slightly better fuel economy than similar sized trucks. I also find them much better to work out of. Their beds are low, their cargo is covered, you can build shelves and workbenches along the walls, they lock more securely than a truck cap, and they have better visbility.
I just started working out of a tall van I can stand in. I can’t imagjne going back to crawling around vans. We do need a lot of space for some of our jobs so we do end up needing the larger cargo area. The back of the van doubles as a workshop which is nice as well. Our company did buy a smaller all wheel drive van for some of the more remote places we service.
The upfront cost is a lot but compared to modern trucks worth making the switch when the time comes to replace a work truck. Another benefit of the van is the side can be an excellent billboard when you put the company phone number and name along the side.
