I'm 100% with you on the truck bed height. I much prefer the lower bed heights of older trucks. So much easier. Firewood duty has been 1st gen Tacoma and 90s Rangers, because it's so much easier loading and unloading them. The Maverick is a move in the right direction bed height wise. Just wish you could get an xcab or single cab version.
The vans can be great for certain things. We had a Ford Aerostar that could fit sheets of plywood with the two rear seats removed. For sure a van makes more sense for many people. The Sprinter vans look really promising, have not looked into them in awhile though.
