Maybe it’s just me but I get a sore back driving these small trucks a lot quicker than I do driving anything else.

It’s still a novelty for me to drive one so I do enjoy it. However I wouldn’t want to drive one all day every day.
Depends on the seats I reckon, I got L4/L5/S1 bulged discs because I'm old and clapped out.

I don't like Falcon seats, not enough support, after 20 mins lower back dramas start and I get stiff (not where it counts)

Commodore seats are a bit better - more shapely

Ford Euro seats - mint no dramas, got Recaros in my daily.

Kenworth T610SAR - has a crap seat that's like a park bench on an air cushion, it's way too flat and it causes me drama

IVECO Powerstar - has a seat that's like a fat person Recaro, no back dramas.

It's not so much the vehicle but how much thought and effort in the ergonomics of the seat is the big one for me, tight seat like Recaros are mint

Wide open seat like the Falcons - trash.
