A van would totally fit for this sort of job, as you can just put your tools inside your van. If you need to carry something longer a mini-truck will do too. Pickup truck is an offroad machine and suitable for a lot of offroad application, but more often than not a lot of people use it on asphalt and 99%of the time not hauling anything.

The top 3 vehicle being sold in US in 2023 are all pickup. The accusation and assumption is very much warranted.
