A proper van with a lowered truck frame and a rear drive would do your  
job fine, and without the waste and overweight of an SUV.

An SUV was designed for hybrid and off-road use, and 99% of SUV owners  
never use them for that, so they are mostly wasted.

America fell in love with the SUV for several reasons:

- want over reason
- a dearth of wagons and hatchbacks in the market, which do the job  
far better
- conversion of real vans into front-engined "somethings" that lacked  
the ability
   of past vans and made people think they needed an SUV

An SUV is actually a pretty poor cargo vehicle compared to the real  
vans, hatches, and wagons unless you really do go off-road.

They might look cooler to some, but be honest: almost no one who owns  
one really needs one.

About the only pragmatic feature they have for urban cargo is the  
height which can be easier for _some_ types of cargo.
