Plenty of agricultural stuff you don't want to share a roof with. And you want a hard bed that you can hose off.
The Trafic in particular has a separated cabin and the floor of that thing is pretty much one layer of sheet metal between the wheels. You're good on both counts.
It does smell... eh... agricultural inside one of those after a while, of course. It's kinda nostalgic for me at this point.
For the really nasty stuff people here just get a trolley to hook up to a jeep or a tractor and a bit of patience. Or, you know, sealed containers. Trust me, people do haul a lot of smelly stuff and I haven't seen anybody who owns an open bed pickup truck in my life. I know more people who moved stuff around with oxen than with pickup trucks. It works.
Wouldn't be able to pick up chem in it, and you're welcome to throw a dead, half-eaten calf in your van, but I'd rather throw it in my truck bed and hose the contents of the intestines out later.
Sure but you could do that with a regular-sized truck too.
