Hi, just want to know if anyone uses a pick up truck instead of a van, and if there secure enough with canopy on.

Few other threads over there too.

I had a VW Amarok - You could get hard tops with central locking just as secure as the main doors on a van. Checkout pegasus hard tops. They're awesome but pricey.

There are tax implications of pick up trucks if run through a business.

They used to be classed as commercial vehicles and taxed the same as a van but so many people bought them to run through companies that HMRC recategorised them as lifestyle vehicles and changed the taxation to the same as a private car.

So unless it's run as a pool vehicle and kept permanently at a place of business, never brought home and only used solely for business then it's expensive when it comes to BIK tax and you can only relcaim 50% of the VAT on purchase.

Stick to a van unless there's an overwhelming reason to have a pick up truck if you intend to run it though your business.

Thanks, have a ford connect ATM so thought it would be same for space with a canopy. Looking into it more and more I think a van is the best option.
