I have a toyota (1982!) and with the gate down 8Ft items are no problem.
It has in the last year moved 12 VS3100s, 15 Vt320s, 8 S100 crates and
atlest 8 8" disk pairs, several racks 8 assorted telvideo unknown number
of printers and monitors. If I could get it in it or on it, it moved.
<Weight-wise - I've found the S10 line to be quite capable. They're standar

Same with the toyota, the Chevy LUV (it was the predecessor to S10).
So considering I drive 100mi a day with it at 162,000 its solid enough.
Pickup trucks regardless of the size are really great for moving computer
hardware and the Vans or their kin are a good second choice. Weight is not
a limiting factor as more often you cube out first.
