easier to drive, and better for hauling gross or oddly-shaped loads. Before we started taxing them out of existence, small pickups were also easier to load.

worse for storing tools and supplies. So some service techs here also prefer vans depending on their loadout. but generally it's easier to use a pickup truck for van stuff (eg locking jobsite boxes) than the reverse.

good question, certainly less than the number who attempt it.

I hope they roll their own oculink adapter for the M2 slot. I know you can diy it with a 3D printer but it would be huge to easily BYO this.
