      Not very many people have a legitimate need. And if you want to upgrade safety to the point it would stop a Semi/Box truck then you’re spending way too much money. That’s why those vehicles require a special license to operate. It would be more feasible to put in massive amounts of light rail freight if you’re that worried about safety. Also, work vans are a thing in 90% of the world.

          Actually not. Ford’s is 3500. Mercedes straddles 5k depending. Opel’s is at 4k. It’s basically an enclosed body with one or two seats and an engine. It was never going to be super heavy on its own.
