Service-wise, there's plenty of room thanks to the p'up nose.
Really its going to be mobile/stationary storage. Think of driving to a location, unloading a ton of oddly shaped things, then loading them back up a few hours later and then returning the vehicle to where its parked the majority of the time. Convenience in loading is less a priority than maintenance ease, reliability and storage space.

I think from the replies I'm looking at a diesel (maybe non GM) or the E450 front box truck.
