I was going to suggest diesel as the key to good mpg in something that can move a lot of weight, then I saw your note that its beyond your budget. I'd say, keep an eye out for one.
I don't think a pickup and van hauling same load would handle or behave very differently. (Never drove a van though.) But access for maintenance in a van is a pure PITA from what I've seen.
May the gods smile upon your search!
