Ok Handy People: What's your goto Rig?

I've been working out of a truck, and the disorganization is just terrible!  

I've had enclosed trailers, but I'm really tall, so I end up killing my back getting in and out. 

I think a High Roof Transit van is the gold standard for daily service work, but what do you work out of?  

I'm considering a decked drawer system, cargo glide and a service cap with side tool boxes as I can't afford the van yet.

    Just switched my installer to the gas mercedes sprinter. the fuel mileage is incredible and it instantly shut down so many production issues due to the ability to stock items/tools and have the right vehicle for the task. It also avoids CDL's and def fluid. I have not had luck with transits in the past, personally. ours was 90k miles cost me $19,000 ($300/mo. or less) I'm going to get one for my sales truck as well. 

    We also used to run small box trucks as they hold the world inside and room for debris. I prefer the sprinters if you can make it work well
