Rivian (of all companies) is building a very cool looking delivery van for Amazon. Not sure if they're going to be available for civilian use, or if there's going to be an all wheel drive option, though.
IMO there are very few situations where a van isn't superior to a pickup truck, and I don't understand the continued popularity of trucks versus vans in the US. About the only advantages of pickups are for bulk materials (e.g. soil/gravel), messy materials (e.g. straw bales) and really tall things that need to stay upright (e.g. refrigerators), and of course towing certain extremely large trailers.

I've had a pickup and a van and it's easier to get stuff in and out of a pickup - you can walk around the side and haul stuff over your head and get in the bed and walk around. motorcycles fit in a pickup, or 3 of them.
